Five people have died after a gold mine collapsed in the Transmara South area of Narok County, Kenya.
Rescue operations are underway, but conditions remain challenging as teams attempt to reach miners who are still trapped underground.
Families of the affected workers are gathering at the site, awaiting updates on the status of their loved ones.
The incident in Lolgorian highlights the persistent safety risks associated with artisanal and small-scale mining operations in the region.
Previous collapses in Kenya, including one in Siaya County earlier this year that killed two miners, have underscored the dangers faced by workers in unregulated or poorly monitored sites.
These accidents often occur in areas where safety infrastructure is limited and enforcement of mining regulations is inconsistent.
