According to a rescue agency official, 10 workers were killed in Indonesia after an explosion in a coal mine caused a collapse.

The miners were at a coal mine in the West Sumatra province when the blast buried an estimated 14 people.

In a statement, local search and rescue agency spokesman Octavianto said the mine reportedly collapsed due to an explosion caused by methane.

He said 10 bodies were recovered, while four people survived.
