The ministry said that 24 rescuers were dispatched to the scene.

Preliminary information indicates that four support structures collapsed at a depth of 50 meters, causing approximately 30 cubic meters of rock to fall.

A Chinese national identified as Ya.Yu., 60, was the first worker rescued from beneath the debris. He was handed over to an emergency medical team for treatment.

During the rescue operation, a secondary collapse occurred, trapping five MES rescuers. Thanks to a prompt response, all of them were successfully pulled to safety.

The body of the second foreign miner, who remained trapped under the rubble, was later recovered by fellow miners.
