In terms of deaths, we still stand at 12, including nine men and three women. But we are still verifying because since we are visiting this crime scene, there may be other crime scenes that we could not reach. I would say that it is still too early to confirm the issues of illegal mining, but of course, we cannot rule it out because I have seen some victims. Where these were lying, it seems that this is the place of processing center of illegal mining. Therefore no one can deny it.
