剛果民主共和國礦場發生毀滅性土石流，造成逾兩百人死亡
Over 200 People Die in Devastating Landslide at DRC Mine
2026年初，剛果民主共和國（DRC）的魯巴亞（ㄌㄨˇㄅㄚㄧㄚˋ）鈳（ㄎㄜˊ）鉭（ㄊㄢˇ）礦場發生了兩起由季節性強降雨引發的災難性山崩。
In early 2026, the Rubaya coltan mine in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) witnessed two catastrophic landslides triggered by heavy seasonal rains.
魯巴亞是個關鍵據點，生產全球15%的鈳鉭礦，這是一種對智慧型手機等電子產品至關重要的礦物。
Rubaya is a critical site, producing 15% of the world's coltan, a mineral essential for electronics like smartphones.
自2024年4月以來，M23叛軍組織佔領了該礦場，並以其收益資助叛亂。
Since April 2024, the M23 rebel group has occupied the mine, funding their insurgency with its revenue.
雖然當地官員報告了數百人死亡，但M23領導層對這些數字提出異議，常將其歸咎於轟炸而非地質不穩定。
While local officials report hundreds of deaths, M23 leadership disputes these numbers, often blaming bombings instead of geological instability.
