At Least 60 Killed in Gold Mine Collapse in Sudan, AFP Reports

At least 60 people were killed after a gold mine collapsed in Sudan, according to a report by Agence France-Presse.

Details about the exact location of the mine and the number of people trapped were not immediately available.

Rescue and recovery efforts were expected to continue as authorities and local teams worked at the site.

Sudan has a large informal gold-mining sector, where deadly collapses have occurred repeatedly because of unstable shafts and limited safety protections.

The death toll could be revised as more information emerges.
