One survivor, nine bodies pulled out of mine in Pakistan
Baku, July 16, AZERTAC
Pakistani authorities said Tuesday they had rescued one miner who survived two days trapped in a coal mine after a fire that killed nine other workers in Balochistan, AFP reports.
An electrical short circuit sparked the blaze on Sunday at the mine east of Quetta, the capital of oil and mineral rich Balochistan province.
Eleven miners were working around 4,000 feet (1,200 metres) underground at the time. One was quickly saved but poisonous carbon monoxide gas hampered rescue efforts.
Officials confirmed on Tuesday that just one of the remaining ten had been discovered alive.
