A landslide triggered by heavy rains has killed more than 200 people at the Rubaya coltan mine in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, authorities said. DRC's Ministry of Mines said on Wednesday that about 70 children were among the victims, and others who were injured were evacuated to medical facilities in the city of Goma, the capital of North Kivu province.

Aquiles Cubillos stated, "Today we finally found [dead] the last of the missing workers," confirming the recovery of the last miner after days of searching.
