Afghan worker dies in Tajik mines.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Six Afghan workers were killed in a deadly explosion at a coal mine in Tajikistan’s Sogd province.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The incident occurred on Sunday, 2 November 2025, in the Aini area and the victims were working inside the mine tunnel. The bodies of the workers have not been pulled out of the mine.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Five of the victims were from Daikundi province and one from Lal Wasr Jangal district of Ghor province.<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to workers, hundreds of Afghans are working in Tajik mines and face lack of safety and pressure from contractors to remain silent.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Many claim they face fines and deportation if they protest.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is the second such incident this year; In May, eight Afghan workers were killed in another explosion in the same area.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Poverty and unemployment in Afghanistan have led many young people to migrate to neighboring countries for work and to be employed in high-risk jobs, including mining.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
