[A gold mine in Kenya collapsed, killing 5 people] Kenyan police said on the 22nd that a gold mine in Narok County in the southwestern part of the country collapsed on the same day, killing at least 5 miners. Narok County Police Commander Patrick Lobelia told Xinhua that continuous heavy rainfall caused the mine channel to collapse. Currently, miners are still trapped underground, and rescue operations are continuing. However, due to a lack of professional underground exploration and search and rescue equipment, rescue progress has been slow. Lobelia said that several survivors have been rescued and taken to nearby medical institutions for treatment. In recent years, there have been frequent safety incidents in the Kenyan gold mining industry. In some regions rich in gold resources, accidents such as mine collapses occur from time to time due to widespread illegal and unregulated mining activities.
