Rescuers reach miners

-

Rescue workers in southern Poland have reached four of the 10 miners who went missing early Saturday, local time, after a powerful undergroun­d tremor and methane gas discharge hit, mining authoritie­s said. It was the second coal mine accident last week in Poland. The condition of the four was not immediatel­y released and officials said there was no verbal contact with any of the missing miners. The rescue team could not immediatel­y bring the four to the surface and more teams will be sent to the area, said Edward Pazdziorko, deputy head of the Jastrzebsk­a Spolka Weglowa company (JSW) that operates the Borynia-Zofiowka mine.
