In occupied Donetsk, rescuers found and lifted the bodies of four missing miners at the Skochinsky mine. The body of one of the miners was found around 1:45.

This is reported by the media controlled by the occupation forces.

The miner was identified in the auxiliary walkway No. 2 of the fifth western pit at the junction with the main western drift. At 5:15 am, the charred body surfaced.

The same day the bodies of three more miners were found. The mine continues to eliminate the consequences of the accident.

Recall that on November 17 there was a fire at the Skochinsky mine. There were 26 miners in the mine, 22 of them were brought to the surface.

It should be noted that the Skochinsky mine is considered dangerous, as the development of veins in it is complicated by geological conditions that are unique in terms of danger. The last major accident here was a methane release that killed seven people in April 2014, when Donetsk was still under Ukrainian control.

In June 2010, as a result of a sudden methane release, five miners died at the mine and 17 were hospitalized. On June 8, 2009, 13 people were killed in a similar accident and another 30 were injured.
