Three people are dead and eight are missing, because of a probable blow of grayou, Wednesday, April 20, in a coal mine of southern Poland, which also made about twenty wounded, said The JSW mining company in a statement.

Following two probable explosions, “twenty-one people were hospitalized.” “We have no contact with eight people working downstairs,” said JSW President Tomasz Cudny, quoted by the Pap Agency earlier.

Polish Prime Minister Mesteusz Morawiecki expressed his condolences to minor families.

Suspended research

According to the company, a first explosion would have occurred soon after midnight at a depth of 1,000 meters. Forty-two minors were at the location of the explosion and most of them suffered burns. A second explosion took place during the relief operation, touching the first workers.

Research has been suspended due to poor underground conditions, JSW indicated in a release published around 9:30 am (local time).
