One miner died and three others were injured in a sudden blast of gas and coal at a coalmine in the Donetsk Region in east Ukraine, the Ukrainian Emergencies Ministry’s press office reported on Sunday.
The blast occurred at the Shcheglovskaya-Glubokaya mine in the town of Makeyevka early on Sunday, trapping three miners underground. A total of 130 miners managed to leave the accident-hit area on their own. One of them was hospitalized with the signs of methane gas poisoning.
