# Mexican Army divers have rescued a miner from a flooded underground tunnel two weeks after he was first trapped. Francisco Zapata Nájera was stuck 300-metres below ground after an embankment collapsed at the gold mine in the northern state of Sinaloa. The search continues for another miner still missing. Mexican president Claudia Sheinbaum praised the Army and Zapata’s faith and resilience, which she said had made the astounding rescue possible. Twenty-five workers were inside the gold mine when the tailings dam burst on 25 March.
