Turkish rescue workers have recovered 10 bodies of miners trapped by a flooding accident last month, with search efforts continuing for eight still missing, reports said on Wednesday.
A total of 18 miners were trapped in the disaster in the Ermenek coal mine in the Karaman region of southern Turkey which raised new fears about Turkey’s dire mine safety record. Rescuers found the first two bodies on November 6. Eight more corpses were recovered over the past two days and efforts are continuing to find the remaining 10, the official Anatolia news agency reported.
In the country’s deadliest mine disaster, 301 workers were killed by an explosion in the western town of Soma in May.
A power distribution center caused an explosion and fire at the mine situated in the town of Soma, 155 miles south of Istanbul.
