伊朗东部一座煤矿坑发生爆炸，根据最新消息，死亡数已经攀升到51人，20人受伤，尚不清楚还有多少人受困。

《美联社》、《路透社》等外媒引述伊朗官媒报导，这起事件发生在21日晚间9时，当时矿坑内一共有69人正在工作，未料其中2区发生甲烷外泄，最终导致爆炸。目前，当局已经派遣救援人员抵达现场。

伊朗不仅生产石油，也蕴含多种矿产资源，而这座矿坑就位于南呼罗珊省（South Khorasan）塔巴斯（Tabas），距离首都德黑兰东南方约335英里（约540公里）。

伊朗新任改革派总统裴泽斯基安（Masoud Pezeshkian）正准备动身前往美国纽约参加联合国大会，但他已经下令尽一切努力营救受困者，并且全力支持家属。他也表示，针对这起事件的调查已经展开。
