Eleven bodies found after mine explosion in Pakistan Rescuers in southwestern Pakistan have recovered 11 bodies after a mine explosion last week.
A methane gas explosion caused the mine, located around 40km from the city of Quetta, in Pakistan's southern Balochistan province, to collapse in on itself last week.
Last week, Pakistani security forces also rescued at least eight of 16 mine workers who had been kidnapped by local militants in the northwest of the country.
Two coal miners were killed on Sunday when a second mine collapsed in Harnai, another district in Balochistan.
Dozens of mine workers are killed in Pakistan each year due to accidents and explosions.
