A coal mine explosion in central Colombia on Monday killed nine people, the national mining authority said, less than a month after it flagged safety issues at the site.

The fatal accident at La Trinidad mine in the Sutatausa municipality, 45 miles (72 kilometers) north of the capital Bogota, had initially trapped 15 miners.
