Eight miners were killed and 18 injured on Friday when a shaft collapsed at a state-owned coal mine in southern Serbia.
The Mining and Energy ministry said the accident at the Soko mine, about 250 kilometres south of Belgrade, happened when coal collapsed in an excavation chamber, leading to "a sudden penetration of methane into the working space."
At the site, miners were seen milling behind the gate as vans took away bodies, a Reuters witness said. Police patrols were in the area.Rescue miners walk by family members of miners outside a coal mine, after a shaft collapsed killing at least eight miners, according to RTS state television, in Sokobanja, southern Serbia, April 1, 2022.
