All the 26 miners, listed as missing after an accident at a coal pit in northern Russia, have lost their lives, says the company that runs the colliery.
“According to the expert technical council, 26 people who were in the mine had no chances of surviving,” Tatyana Bushkova, a spokeswoman for the Vorkutaugol mining firm said in a statement released on Sunday.
Bushkova further noted that a rescue mission has been halted at the Severnaya mine, located in the city of Vorkuta in the Komi region above the Arctic Circle, where the incident took place on Thursday due to a sudden leak of methane gas.
A total of 110 people were in the mine at the time of the accident, 80 of whom were rescued, 26 went missing and four others were killed, according to earlier reports.
