Mine collapse occurs in Turkey’s Black Sea province of Zonguldak
Communication was established with 3 miners in the collapse, and 1 miner was rescued with serious injuries, says Zonguldak governor

Mine collapse occurred in Turkey’s Black Sea province of Zonguldak on Wednesday.
The collapse occurred at the state-owned Turkish Hard Coal Enterprises (TTK) Armutcuk Enterprise mine for unknown reasons.
Rescue operations swiftly started as police, the Turkish National Medical Rescue Team (UMKE), Turkey's State Disaster and Emergency Management Authority (AFAD) and TTK rescue teams were dispatched to the scene.
Zonguldak governor Osman Hacibektasoglu told Anadolu that the collapse occurred at 14:30 local time.
“Currently, a search and rescue team of 250 people are intervening. One miner was rescued with serious injuries, our teams are in contact with the other three miners. They carefully try to remove them.”
Hacibektasoglu said that the collapse occurred while 280 miners were in the shift but it affected the area where four of them were working.
“There is no explosion, just a collapse. For now, there is not a situation that would put the entire quarry and business at risk.”
