Rescue efforts, according to Energy Minister Fatih Donmez, are almost finished.
More than a dozen miners had been trapped in the mine’s gallery, where he had earlier claimed that a fire was still raging. He stated that efforts to contain and cool the fire were ongoing.
Preliminary assessments indicated that the explosion was likely caused by firedamp, which is a reference to flammable gases found in coal mines, Donmez said overnight.
Ambulances were on standby at the site. Rescue teams were dispatched to the area, including from neighbouring provinces, Turkey’s disaster management agency, AFAD, said.
