JAKARTA, November 13 (RIA Novosti) - At least 10 workers at an Indonesian gold mine have been killed by a landslide on the country's southeast Sulawesi island, national media said on Thursday.

Some 15 people are still missing after Wednesday's accident.

Sixty miners have now died in the province since early September. Poor safety conditions have been blamed for the deaths.

"Local authorities should concern themselves with the evacuation of miners from areas at danger from landslides," said Rustam Pakaya, head of the crisis center at the Indonesian Health Ministry.
