A bridge collapse at a cobalt mine in DR Congo's Lualaba province on Saturday killed at least 32 wildcat miners. The incident occurred as miners reportedly rushed across a makeshift bridge, causing it to collapse into a flooded zone.

• At least 32 bodies were recovered, with searches continuing for more.
• Provincial Interior Minister Roy Kaumba Mayonde confirmed the details, stating that access to the site was already banned due to heavy rain.
• The DRC produces over 70 percent of the world's cobalt, a crucial component for electric vehicle batteries and electronics.
• More than 10,000 wildcat miners reportedly operated at the Kalando mine, where the collapse occurred.
