Tragedy Strikes Zimbabwe: 6 Miners Dead, 15 Trapped in Gold Mine Collapse

Six people have died and 15 others are trapped underground after a gold mine collapsed in Zimbabwe. Rescue operations are currently underway, but incidents of mine collapses are common in the country, particularly among artisanal miners. Zimbabwe, rich in gold, coal, diamonds, and lithium, has seen a rise in people seeking valuable deposits due to economic hardships caused by industry closures, currency crisis, and high unemployment rates. Critics blame economic mismanagement and corruption, while the government points to sanctions imposed by the United States.
