MEXICO: Partial progress in Pasta de Conchos search
Authorities in Mexico’s northern state of Coahuila announced that biological remains had been found on 3 July during the recently rebooted search effort in the Pasta de Conchos coal mine, where 65 miners were killed following an explosion in 2006. This comes after Mexico’s interior ministry (Segob) announced that human remains were found on 12 June in an area of the mine where records indicate that 13 miners were working on the day of the accident. The findings represent some – albeit limited – progress in the efforts to find the bodies of the miners, a campaign pledge of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador and one that President-elect Claudia Sheinbaum looks set to inherit.
