Rescuers have recovered the bodies of four miners and are searching for two more after an earthquake caused a partial collapse at El Teniente mine last week.

Rescue teams in Chile are searching for five miners trapped after a partial collapse triggered by a tremor killed one colleague and halted operations at the world’s largest underground copper mine.

Codelco - which runs the mine - has been sanctioned 29 times since 2021 and has had seven fatal accidents in that time, Chile's mining regulator says.
