The death toll was revised down from an initial report of 90, with local officials explaining that confusion at the scene and an unclear worker count led to the inaccurate early figure. At the time of the explosion, 247 workers were underground, with 128 injured and hospitalised, 35 uninjured, and two individuals still unaccounted for.
