The mining incident in Russia happened in the Siberian local mine, on Thursday, 25 November 2021. The blast occurred due to the coal dust catching fire resulting in an explosion. The heart-wrenching incident resulted in more than 50 deaths which also includes 5 rescue workers.
Due to the explosion, about 300 people were trapped in the mine. The rescue operation faced huge challenges and it also got suspended due to the high concentration of methane.
