Methane Explosion at Coal Mine in Southern Pakistan Kills 34
A major explosion at a coal mine in southern Pakistan has resulted in the deaths of at least 34 miners. The incident, reported on August 5, was likely caused by a buildup of methane gas within the mine shafts. Rescue operations are ongoing, though officials fear the death toll could rise as several workers remain trapped underground. The disaster highlights ongoing safety concerns and the lack of adequate ventilation systems in the region's mining sector.
