Mine collapses in eastern Congo, leaving at least 200 dead

Miners work at a coltan mining quarry in Rubaya, Congo, in May 2025.

The collapse happened Wednesday due to heavy rains at the rebel-controlled Rubaya mines. Congo is a major supplier of coltan, which contains a key component in the production of smartphones.
