Rescue workers are battling to free six miners trapped underground after a quarry collapsed yesterday in Kenya's western Nyatike district.
According to local Daily Nation newspaper the rescue workers lack equipment to free the six trapped miners.
A seventh miner was pulled out, and was rushed to hospital for treatment as heavy rains may have contributed to the collapse of the quarry.
"The miners continued working even when it was heavily raining outside, they were not aware," an official is quoted saying.
