Ten people were killed when a makeshift gold mine collapsed in western Burkina Faso, a miners' association said on Thursday.
In the early hours of Wednesday, miners were trapped near the town of Hounde, according to Abasse Derra, an official with the local gold miners' association.
"The death toll so far is 10," he added, giving a provisional toll confirmed by Moussa Ouedraogo, another member of the association.
