Three workers were killed and one was injured when the wall of a rock quarry operating without a government permit collapsed in Taung Nyo village in northwestern Myanmar’s Sagaing region on Monday, a local fire official and rescue worker told RFA’s Myanmar Service.

Five people were working in the quarry, and three men and one woman were inside a mine area when the collapse occurred, they said.

The dead included two men and one woman, according to the RFA report.
