The quarry, managed by Tan Thanh Company, is on Vuc Mountain near Dong Hung Commune in Dong Son District.

The three workers killed in the accident were Nguyen Dang Loi from Trieu Son District and Le Van Binh and Le Van Nguyen from Nhu Thanh District.

Five injured workers, who have not been named, were rushed to the Thanh Hoa general Hospital.

Three of them had serious head and face injuries, while the other two suffered multiple injuries.

Dong Hung Commune deputy Police Chief Nguyen Ngoc Hai said the rock fall appeared to have been caused by the accidental ignition of explosives.

Dong Son authorities are investigating the case.
