Pakistan: Bomb blast in Turbat leaves six dead, several injured

A fire at a fuel depot run by Italian energy company Eni near Florence on Monday killed two people and left three missing, a local official said.

"Sadly two people lost their lives, nine people are injured and three people are missing" after the fire at the Calenzano plant, a spokeswoman for the Florence prefecture told AFP.

In a statement, Eni said the fire had been confined to the loading shelter area and had not reached any fuel tanks.

Eugenio Giani, president of the central Tuscany region that includes Calenzano, confirmed the fire was contained&nbsp;and added that experts were now assessing potential pollution, including on nearby waterways.

People within five kilometres (three miles) of the plant have been told to stay home and close their doors and windows.

Giani posted a video online showing a huge plume of black smoke emerging from an area of the plant, which is linked to the nearby Livorno refinery.

"The fire was quickly contained and the column of smoke rose significantly due to the difference in temperature between the smoke and the atmosphere," he said later.

In a statement, Eni said: "This morning a fire broke out at the fuel depot in Calenzano and that firefighters are working to put out the flames which are confined to the loading shelter area and do not affect the tanks in any way."

Investigations were underway into the cause of fire, it added.

Two dead, three missing as fire breaks out at Italian fuel depot

At least 99 people were killed and more than&nbsp;100 were injured in a fuel tanker explosion that took place in Freetown, capital of Sierra Leone. Local authorities said that the fuel tanker exploded after a collision. The tragedy took place on Friday night according to local time.

Fuel appeared to still be leaking from the tanker on Saturday morning. Police and soldiers tried to clear crowds of onlookers.

A burnt human body and the blackened shells of several cars and motorbikes dotted the road in the eastern Freetown suburb of Wellington, where hundreds had gathered.

The death toll currently stands at 99 with more than 100 injured&nbsp;being treated in hospitals and clinics across the capital, deputy health minister Amara Jambai told Reuters.

Victims included people who had flocked to collect fuel leaking from the ruptured vehicle, Yvonne Aki-Sawyerr, mayor of the port city, said initially in a post on Facebook that was later edited to remove the reference.

"We've got so many casualties, burnt corpses," said Brima Bureh Sesay, head of the National Disaster Management Agency, in a video from the scene shared online. "It's a terrible, terrible accident."

Videos shared online shortly after the explosion showed people running through clouds of thick smoke as large fires lit up the night sky. Reuters was not able immediately to verify the images.

"My profound sympathies with families who have lost loved ones and those who have been maimed as a result," President Julius Maada Bio tweeted.

"My Government will do everything to support affected families."

Two people were killed and many others injured after a train derailed in the north of Italy close to Turin, Italian media said.

The incident occured late Wednesday when the train hit a large truck that had stopped on a level crossing, causing three carriages to come off the rails, according to television footage.

"At 11.20 pm (2120 GMT) the regional train 10027 Turin-Ivrea hit a heavy goods vehicle that had stopped on a functioning level crossing after crashing through the barriers," RFI, which manages Italy's rail network, said in a statement.

According to the AGI news agency, the second victim was taken to a Turin hospital by helicopter with severe injuries but he did not survive.

Another passenger, a woman, is in a serious condition after sustaining a head injury but she remains conscious, AGI reported.

According to La Stampa newspaper, witnesses said the vehicle, which was registered in Lithuania, looked to be a particularly large and heavy truck.

The van that was in front of it passed safely through the level crossing but when the barriers started to come down, the vehicle failed to brake in time and came to a stop on the tracks, the newspaper said.

Himachal Pradesh: 11 dead, several injured after bus falls into gorge

At least 18 people were killed, 13 injured and about a dozen went missing as two coal mines collapsed in different areas of Pakistan's Balochistan on Saturday, media reports said.

A mine in Marwar area near provincial capital Quetta collapsed due to gas explosion and about two dozen miners were trapped inside. 
Deputy Commissioner Quetta Farrukh Atique told PTI that that 16 people have died in the collapse.

"We have recovered all the 16 bodies from the rubble caused by the collapse in the coal mine," Atique said.

"We have also rescued six workers who are trapped in the rubble and have sent them to the hospital for treatment but one miner is still trapped under the rubble," he said.

Rescue officials said a dozen of the dead miners belonged to Shangla district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

"The collapse apparently took place because of a gas explosion and the miners working at that time were trapped inside. Some died on the spot while others who were badly injured breathed their last under the rubble," Atique said.

Chief of Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA) Muhammad Tariq also confirmed that 16 miners had been killed. 
"So far 16 dead bodies and six injured miners have been recovered from the mine," he said.

In another incident, at least nine miners were trapped in a mine of Pakistan Mineral Development Corporation (PMDC) near Quetta, an official said.

He said the rescue workers recovered two dead bodies and two injured miners, while efforts were on to recover another five workers who remain trapped.

Mining is considered highly dangerous in Pakistan where dozens of miners die each year due to lack of modern mining facilities, training and equipment.

According to the Pakistan Central Mines Labour Federation (PCMLF), about 100 to 200 labourers die on average in coal mine accidents every year.

Last month, at least 11 miners died in two separate mining incidents in Darra Adam Khel area of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Jhelum district of Punjab.&nbsp;

Officials said the death toll might rise as at least five people were trapped under the debris of the collapsed mine.
