One Chinese was killed and two others were injured on Saturday in labor clashes at a Chinese coal mine in Zambia's Southern Province, the Chinese Embassy confirmed late yesterday.
The clashes took place after a labor dispute at the Chinese firm Collum Coal Mining Industries Ltd. in Sinazongwe district of the province.
No casualties of locals were reported so far, and the coal mine has restored peace.
The Chinese Embassy have been in touch with relevant departments of the Zambian government and the police and have sent staff to the scene to investigate into the issue and deal with the aftermath.
