The corpses of eight miners were retrieved from a coal mine located in Harnai, a district within the Balochistan province.
Yesterday, a gas explosion occurred in the coal mine, resulting in the entrapment of a minimum of 18 miners underground.
An explosion in the Zardallu area near Harnai resulted in the collapse of a section of a coal mine, leading to the entrapment of 10 miners underground.
