Ukraine struck the Bilorichenska coal mine in the Russian-controlled Luhansk region, damaging a power substation and leaving 41 mine workers trapped underground, a Russian-installed official said on Monday.
“All the relevant services are taking steps to rescue the miners and restore power to the mine,” Leonid Pasechnik, the Moscow-appointed head of the region, said.
He said that the contact with the miners had already been established, and that they had a supply of drinking water.
