Tragedy in Turkey

An explosion at a coal mine in Turkey's northern Bartin province on Friday killed 41 people, Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu said Saturday, adding that search and rescue operations were continuing for a miner who has not been found.

He said 58 of the 110 people working in the mine when the explosion occurred were rescued by crews or got out on their own.

"The fire is still there, the miners and the crews have made great sacrifices not to leave their brothers there," Mr Soylu said at the mine.

Energy Minister Fatih Donmez later said the fire at the mine had been largely brought under control, but efforts to contain it were continuing after the incident, which occurred 350 meters underground.

Soylu said one miner was released from hospital while 10 were still receiving treatment in Bartin and Istanbul.

Authorities said Turkish prosecutors have launched an investigation into the cause of the incident, but according to initial reports the explosion was caused by methane in the mine.

In 2014, 301 workers were killed in Turkey's worst-ever mining disaster in the western town of Soma, 350 km south of Istanbul.
