KHARTOUM: At least 31 miners were killed and eight missing in Sudan on Tuesday when a rudimentary gold mine collapsed, a government official said.

The disaster occurred near Nuhud, a town about 500-km west of Khartoum, said Khaled Dahwa, the head of the state-run Mineral Resources Company in West Kordofan.
