Seven workers were killed in an explosion caused by methane gas accumulation at an illegal coal mine in Colombia. Authorities confirmed the incident occurred on Thursday in the center of Sutatausa city, with the first victim’s body recovered shortly after the blast and five more found on Friday, according to the National Mining Agency.
Regional governor Jorge Emilio Rey stated on social media that the death toll had risen to seven and announced that the National Mining Agency would conduct a full investigation to determine the cause of the accident. The city of Sutatausa is observing a day of mourning in memory of the victims.
Mining accidents are frequent in central Colombia, both in legal and illegal operations, often due to noncompliance with safety regulations. In May, two other explosions, including one in Sutatausa, killed a total of 13 miners.
