After shelling in Kryvyi Rih, rescuers brought trapped miners to the surface.

In Kryvyi Rih, mine rescuers brought workers to the surface from two mines that were trapped underground due to a power outage following Russian shelling of the city.

The State Emergency Service reported this.

A Russian drone attack on January 22 knocked out power to one of the mines where miners were located at depths of -1,135, 865, and 475 meters. Due to the power outage, the workers could not be rescued using standard methods.

Mine rescuers decided to evacuate workers on foot from vertical and inclined workings. Accompanied by State Emergency Service specialists, the miners traversed approximately 7 kilometers of underground routes. The rescue operation lasted approximately six hours.

After midnight, another power outage shut down another mine, with 92 workers inside. This time, rescuers followed a tried-and-tested method: hoisting the workers using the counterweight principle of the mine cage. The operation was completed within four hours.

All the miners are now on the surface. The State Emergency Service noted that the miners are somewhat exhausted, but are feeling well and are happy to be back home.

As a reminder, on the night of January 22, the Russian army attacked Ukraine with attack drones , including people in the Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhzhia, and Odessa regions.

Incidentally, as a result of the Russian attack on the Odessa region, a young man born in 2009 died .
