Rescuers continue to search for miners who are up to 350 metres underground in the pit in Amasra
At least 22 people have died after an apparent methane blast tore through a pit on Turkey’s Black Sea coast, with rescuers searching for dozens of coalminers still trapped hundreds of metres underground.
Süleyman Soylu, the interior minister, said 28 people who either managed to crawl out on their own or were saved by rescuers had suffered various injuries in one of Turkey’s deadliest industrial accidents in years.
