At least 41 miners trapped after Ukrainian strike in Luhansk

A Ukrainian strike on the Bilorichenska coal mine in the Russian-controlled Luhansk region has left 41 miners trapped underground, a Russian-installed official said Monday, News.Az reports, citing Reuters.

The attack damaged a power substation, cutting electricity to the mine.

Leonid Pasechnik, the Moscow-appointed head of the region, said rescue teams are working to save the miners and restore power.

Authorities have already established contact with those trapped, who currently have a supply of drinking water.
