A deadly accident occurred in a gold mine in Mali's Koulikoro region, where rocks collapsed, killing 10 people and trapping several others.

A tragic accident occurred in the West African country of Mali. In the Koulikoro region of Mali, a gold mine collapsed after rocks fell, resulting in the deaths of 10 people. Several others are still missing. The incident took place on Wednesday, as revealed by the Governor of the region, Colonel Lamine Kaporo Sanogo. He mentioned that the victims were trapped under rubble while searching for gold. Most of the victims were women. Mud and water suddenly flooded the mine, trapping the miners. Some others were also caught under the debris, and rescue operations are currently underway. The Governor also mentioned that the death toll may rise, and search efforts are ongoing for those still missing. An investigation has been launched to determine the cause of the mine's collapse.
Mali, which is the third-largest gold producer in Africa, has seen such accidents become a common occurrence. Last year, a similar incident in the Kangaba district of the same region resulted in the deaths of over 70 people. It is believed that these accidents are occurring due to illegal mining operations being carried out without proper safety measures. In order to prevent future tragedies, actions need to be taken in the mining sector. The country's Ministry of Mines has expressed its condolences over this tragic incident.
