On September 16, local time, the Sudanese civil agency “Sudanese Doctor Network” issued a statement saying that the Arzara gold mine near Nahud in western Sudan's Western Kordofan state collapsed on the 15th. Currently, at least 67 miners have been killed, and many others are missing. The statement said that the collapse may have been caused by recent continuous rainfall leading to loosening of the ground and a decrease in the stability of the mine. Currently, rescuers are searching for missing persons, and the number of casualties is likely to increase further. West Kordofan State, where the Collapsed Arzara Gold Mine is located, is currently controlled by rapid support forces.
