At least 62 people were killed, and around 200 others are trapped after a jade mine collapsed in northern Myanmar on Thursday, local media reported.

The miners were collecting stones when a “muddy wave” caused by heavy rain buried them, the fire service said in a Facebook post.

The search and rescue operation is still underway.
