Collapse at Coltan mine in eastern DRC kills 12

Date: Jun 20, 2025

A collapse at the Rubaya Coltan mine in North Kivu, eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, has killed at least 12 people, a mining source and a civil society source said on Friday.

The sources said that dozens more escaped from the artisanal mine when it collapsed on Thursday.

The reasons for the collapse were not immediately clear.

Rwanda backed M23 rebels seized control over the mine in 2024.
