KINSHASA, March 4 (Reuters) – More than 200 people including around 70 children died on Tuesday in a landslide triggered by heavy rains at the Rubaya coltan mine in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, the mines ministry said on Wednesday.
A senior M23 official told Reuters earlier that only five or six died in the accident.
