At least 11 people were killed when a gold mine collapsed in northeastern Guinea on Monday, according to rescue workers. Several others remain missing, and authorities fear the death toll could rise. The incident occurred in a region where miners often work without safety measures, taking significant risks in search of gold.

A local Red Cross official told AFP that 11 people had died, four were injured, and several were still unaccounted for. Rescue teams are continuing efforts to locate those trapped under the debris. Heavy rainfall and a lack of adequate equipment have made the rescue operation difficult.

Authorities have strengthened security around the site to facilitate rescue operations and maintain control of the situation.
