Heartbreaking news is coming out of central Colombia today. A sudden explosion at a coal mine in Sutatausa, Cundinamarca, has left at least 12 miners trapped underground, sparking an urgent rescue operation. 🚨
According to officials, the blast happened at a legally operated mine where 15 workers were on shift at the time. Preliminary reports suggest that the explosion was caused by a dangerous buildup of gas within the mine shafts.
