The explosion at the Tabas coal mine occurred due to a methane gas leak, which many workers apparently died from before the blast occurred. The authorities now believe the death toll has reached at least 49.
Lawmaker Zahra Saeedi highlighted systemic failures in the mine's safety protocols, indicating that the emergency alarm systems were broken or absent at the time, which contributed to the workers' inability to escape.
