Thirty four miners remain trapped inside a Bosnian coal mine after an earthquake triggered a gas explosion and caved in two tunnels.
‘Of 56 miners that were in the mine, 22 made it back to the surface and 34 are still in the affected zone,’ said Esad Civic, manager at the Raspotocje mine in the town of Zenica.
Earlier reports said only eight people were trapped. The miners are in a tunnel that was not affected by the gas explosion, around 600 metres underground, according to union leader Mehmed Oruc.
A 3.5-magnitude quake hit 53km northwest of the capital Sarajevo on Friday. No other major damage was reported from the earthquake.
