At least 11 miners died in a coal mining accident in Russia’s Siberia and an operation to rescue dozens more people stuck underground was suspended due to the risk of an explosion, authorities said
Coal dust caught fire in a ventilation shaft in the Listvyazhnaya mine in the snowbound Kemerovo region early on Thursday, filling the mine with smoke, the TASS news agency cited local emergency services as saying.
The coal industry region of Kemerovo roughly 3,500 km east of Moscow has been hit by fatal accidents for years. Before the rescue operation was halted, the governor said there was still electricity and ventilation in the mine, but that they had lost contact with some people deep underground. Some 285 people were inside the mine when smoke spread through the ventilation shaft, the emergency ministry said. At least 239 made it above ground, authorities said. They did not say what had caused the smoke.On state television, President Vladimir Putin said he had spoken with the governor and emergency officials, describing the accident as a "great misfortune".
