At least 14 individuals lost their lives in a devastating incident at an illegal open-pit gold mine in central Venezuela. The collapse, which occurred in the Angostura municipality, also left 11 people injured, with fears that more could be trapped beneath the rubble.
The mine, known as Bulla Loca, is situated in a remote area only accessible by an hours-long boat ride. The collapse of a wall within the mine led to the tragic event, prompting urgent rescue efforts by local authorities.
