A methane gas explosion in a coal mine in the Sorrange area, near Quetta, Balochistan, killed 45 miners while some others are still believed to be trapped underground. Officials on Monday stated that it needed a “miracle” to find any survivors. The mine, located in the far-flung Sorrange region of the troubled southwestern province, was poorly ventilated, allowing poisonous gases to accumulate and trigger blasts which led to the collapse on Sunday, officials said.
