On Saturday morning,
a fire broke out at a depth of 340 meters in a mine in Solikamsk, Perm Region,
near the Urals, when construction work was underway by a contracting company.
At that moment, 17 people were working underground, but just eight of them
managed to come to the surface. Rescuers have tried to reach the remaining nine
miners, but none of the attempts were successful due to high temperature and
smoke.
The Russian
Investigative Committee’s regional branch opened a criminal case over violation
of safety rules in mining, construction and other activities that entailed
death of three or more persons.
