At least 11 people died and 10 more remain trapped following a coal mine explosion in central Colombia, the governor of Cundinamarca department said on Wednesday.

The accident in the municipality of Sutatausa occurred due to an accumulation of gases that exploded after a worker's tool caused a spark, Governor Nicolas Garcia told Blu Radio.
