INDIA: At least 10 people were killed and 17 others remain missing after a suspected gas explosion triggered a collapse inside an under-construction tunnel at a hydropower project in India’s north-eastern Himalayan state of Sikkim, officials said today.

The blast ripped through the tunnel on Monday at Samardung village, about 25 miles from the state capital, Gangtok, where multiple workers were carrying out construction work.
