The miners, who were stranded 20 meters underground after part of the mine collapsed, have been carried to hospital and are in a stable condition, Zonguldak Governor Ali Kaban told The Anadolu Agency. The mining accident occurred at 03:00 a.m. local time, but it was reported to police only after noon by the father of a trapped miner. The reasons for the collapse have yet to be determined.
