CoinWorld News reports that a gold mine in West Pokot County, Kenya, collapsed on the evening of May 7, resulting in at least 10 deaths. The affected gold mine is located in the border area between West Pokot County and Turkana County. A security official from West Pokot County, Saruni, confirmed that 12 survivors have been rescued. Hammering sounds and calls for help can still be heard from under the rubble, which means there are still people trapped. It is not yet clear how many miners were inside the mine when the collapse occurred.
