Kabul, May 12 (UNI) Three miners lost their lives after part of a mine of mini-precious stones collapsed in northern Afghanistan's Badakhshan province on Sunday, local media reported Monday.
The ill-fated miners were busy extracting mini-precious stones in a mine of the natural treasure in Ashkashiem district on Sunday, but suddenly part of the mine caved in, killing three workers on the spot, Tolonews quoted a provincial government official Mohammad Kamgar as saying.
A similar accident claimed the lives of two gold miners in Badakhshan's neighboring Takhar province in late March this year.
