MOHMAND: The death toll of a marble mine collapse in the Mohmand district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa rose to 21 on Tuesday, Geo News reported quoting officials.
A day earlier, 12 miners were killed while 18 were injured when a marble quarry collapsed at the Ziarat Ghar mountain. More bodies were recovered from the rubble during a rescue operation which restarted on Tuesday.
