Nine miners are killed in an explosion at a coal mine in central Colombia, according to multiple outlets citing local authorities and the national mining agency. The incident occurs in the Sutatausa area, where officials report the blast is caused by a buildup of gases inside the mine. Al Jazeera and others say the mining authority had issued a warning weeks earlier about potentially dangerous gas accumulation at the site. The Hindu and IOL also describe the explosion as happening within a coal mine due to gas buildup, and they reference the final toll released by the mining authority. NDTV adds details on the location, describing the mine as legally operated and noting Sutatausa is about 72 kilometers north of Bogota. BBC News places the accident in the same locality of Sutatausa and says it follows another deadly mine disaster there in 2023. Euronews notes that mining accidents are common in central Colombia, where numerous smaller operators work coal and other minerals. One report also says six people are injured, in addition to the nine deaths.
