Islamabad - An underground explosion in a coal mine in Pakistan's south-western Balochistan province killed nine people, a media report said on Sunday. The blast ripped through a gas-filled mine Saturday at the Marwar coalfield, located 80 kilometers from the provincial capital, Quetta.
Rescuers recovered the bodies after a search operation that continued through Saturday night, local official Farooq Ahmad was quoted as saying by the Geo News television channel.
A similar methane gas explosion in a coal mine elsewhere in the mineral-rich province left 14 miners dead and 11 others injured in March 2009.
