A heart-wrenching incident unfolded in Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province, where a tragic mine collapse claimed the lives of six workers. According to rescue officials, the devastating event took place in the Tora Warai area of central Kurram district on Sunday, October 12, 2025.
The catastrophe was triggered by a powerful explosion within the mine, which subsequently led to a rapid and alarming rise in underground water levels. This sudden surge of water, combined with the force of the blast, caused a significant section of the mine to cave in, trapping the workers inside.
Authorities confirmed that while the body of one miner has been successfully recovered, the remaining five workers are still believed to be beneath the debris. Dedicated joint rescue teams from both Hangu and Kurram districts have been tirelessly working at the site, engaged in a desperate effort to locate and retrieve the missing individuals. The community holds its breath, hoping for a miracle amidst the tragic circumstances.
