Fact-check: Real-time X searches reveal multiple posts from credible accounts like @trtafrika, @NewsCentralTV, and @geeradioke reporting the mine shaft collapse in Rubaya killing at least six people, directly linking to or summarizing the Africanews article and similar sources. This is consistent with the claim and distinguishes from the concurrent larger landslide event killing over 200, which the article references as a prior February incident. The source Africanews is reliable for regional reporting, supported by corroborating posts and web results.
