Mlipuko uliotokea ardhini katika machimbo ya madini huko Teutschenthal katikati ya nchi hiyo, umejeruhi watu wawili na kusababisha wengine 30 kukwama ardhini

Uokoaji unaendelea huku ikielezwa kuwa waliokwama ardhini wapo salama ndani ya chumba kimoja ndani ya mgodi huo kilicho katika kina cha mita 700

Chumba hicho kina mifumo ya dharura ya usambazaji wa Hewa ya Oksijeni, kitu kinachowapa waokoaji muda wa kuweza kuwafikia Wafanyakazi hao wakiwa bado salama

An underground explosion at a potash mine in Teutschenthal in central Germany has injured two people and left up to 30 trapped underground, local police say. A major rescue operation is underway.

The explosion at the facility in the state of Saxony-Anhalt was first reported at around 9 am on Friday. The trapped workers are reportedly safe in a shelter area of the mine, which is located at the depth of some 700 meters. The shelter has emergency supplies of oxygen, affording rescuers a window of opportunity to reach the workers.

Teutschenthal is a relatively small municipality of about 13,000 residents. Its mining industry dates back to the mid-19th century and has been a major producer of potash for some eight decades. The mine was shut down in 1982 but was later rebuilt and opened again; it currently provides employment for around 100.
