A methane gas explosion at a coal mine in southwestern Pakistan has killed 34 miners. Authorities said on Friday that rescuers recovered 32 bodies from the mine near Quetta, the capital of Balochistan province and are working to retrieve the remaining two. The explosion occurred on Thursday. Balochistan’s minister for mines and minerals expressed condolences and announced compensation of about $1,800 for the family of each victim. He said authorities would investigate the cause and review safety measures. Deadly accidents are common in Pakistan’s coal mining industry, especially in Balochistan, where many mines lack basic safety measures.
The Kumamoto prefectural government says the powerful earthquake that hit southwestern Japan earlier this week has now killed at least 25 people. The magnitude 7.1 earthquake on Tuesday set off an explosion at a mall, toppled a factory chimney and flattened homes in the Kumamoto area on Japan’s southern main island of Kyushu. Time was running out to find survivors as rescuers continued to work. The total number of those missing was unclear. The quake left at least 86 people injured, five of them seriously, the prefectural government said.
A suspected gas explosion has caused a tunnel collapse at a hydropower project in India's Sikkim state, near the Chinese border, leaving at least 12 people dead and 13 missing. The blast occurred Monday at Samardung village, about 40 kilometers from Gangtok, during construction on the Teesta hydroelectric project. Survivors reported hearing a loud explosion before debris trapped dozens inside. Six officials from the National Hydroelectric Power Corporation, who entered to assist, also became trapped. Rescue teams face hazardous conditions due to toxic gases. The region's geology and seismic activity make such projects risky.
During past training sessions, WDRB has gotten calls from parts of Louisville and southern Indiana questioning the loud booms.
