A deadly explosion occurred on July 30 in a coal mine on the outskirts of Quetta, the capital of Baluchistan province, Pakistan. According to government mine inspector Ghani Baloch, the blast was triggered by a buildup of methane gas inside the mine.
Reports indicate that at least 32 miners lost their lives in the incident, while 10 others remain trapped underground, prompting urgent rescue operations. Authorities are currently working to reach and save the trapped workers.
The explosion has renewed concerns over mine safety standards in the region. Officials have not yet released detailed updates on the progress of rescue attempts or the condition of those trapped, and further details are awaited.
