Collapsed wall kills five Kenyan gold miners, local official says
A wall collapsed at an illegal gold mine in northern Kenya, killing five people and leaving around 15 others missing, a local government official said on Tuesday.
The bodies of five miners were recovered from the Hillo artisanal mine, said Ibrahim Dube, an administrator in Moyale sub county.
The mine has remained in use despite being officially closed in March after several people were killed in clashes between local communities over access to the area.
