ANKARA, (MILLAT+APP/AFP): Four Turkish miners were
killed after a copper mine collapsed late on Thursday in the southeastern province of Siirt, local media reported.
Another 12 men remained trapped in the mine, CNN Turk broadcaster
said, as rescuers and ambulances were sent to the scene.
There appeared to be confusion over the numbers stuck in the mine after Besime Konca, a pro-Kurdish Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) lawmaker for Siirt, said on Twitter that 14 people were trapped.
She added that one injured individual was rescued, according to initial information.
The mine in Sirvan district is owned by a private company, the official news agency Anadolu said, without naming the firm.
