The cave-in killed one miner while injuring another at the mine owned and operated by Zirve Mining. An investigation into the incident in Zonguldak province’s Kilimli district has been started.
Turkey has a bad record in mining accidents. Incidents are not uncommon in Turkish mines due to safety violations and outdated equipment. Last December, 19 miners were killed in a mine that collapsed after an explosion in the western province of Bursa. Three years ago, 17 miners were killed in a methane gas explosion at a coalmine in western Balıkesir province. In Turkey’s worst mining disaster, a gas explosion killed 270 workers, again in Zonguldak, in 1992.
