flag Five trapped miners found after Chile's major copper mine collapse following an earthquake.

Five miners trapped in a collapsed shaft at Chile's El Teniente, the world's largest underground copper mine, have been found and identified. The collapse followed a 4.2 magnitude earthquake that killed one miner and injured nine others. The cause of the earthquake is under investigation, with authorities considering if it was naturally occurring or due to mining activity. Chilean prosecutors are also investigating potential safety standard violations. The mine, owned by state company Codelco, suspended operations and evacuated 3,000 people.
