Taliban police command in Badakhshan said at least three workers are trapped after the roof of the Qatqati gold mine in Shaki district collapsed. Rescue operations are still ongoing.

A local source reported that two workers died in the same mine last week due to a similar collapse. Experts blame unsafe extraction methods and lack of safety equipment.

Collapsed tunnels and mine roofs remain a serious threat to workers in Afghanistan, causing both human casualties and environmental damage.
