BREAKING: โAll 192 Miners โRescued After Russian Strike Traps Workersโข Underground in Ukraine
DNIPROPETROVSK OBLAST, UKRAINE – A major Russian strike on a coalโฃ mine in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast on Sunday โคleft 192 workers trapped underground, Ukrainian energy firm DTEK reported.โ Fortunately, all 192 miners have now been โsuccessfully rescued, with no injuries reported, according to the โขUkrainian National News agency.
DTEK, Ukraine’s largest โฃprivately owned energy company, has been repeatedly targeted by Russian attacks, forcing temporary shutdownsโ at its facilities andโข disrupting heating supplies to households.
as winter approaches, Russia has intensifiedโ attacks on Ukraine’sโข energy network, targetingโ key infrastructure and leaving hundreds โคof thousandsโ of homes without electricity. President Volodymyr Zelensky hasโข warned that โthes strikes are intended to createโข an “energyโ disaster” across the nation.
Dnipropetrovsk region, a key industrial and energyโฃ hubโ in central-eastern Ukraine, is rich in natural resources including coal, iron,โ and โฃmanganese. Mines inโ the areaโ are vital for supplying coalโ to power plants and supporting the national economy.
Russia’s targetingโค of these โคmines aims to disrupt Ukraine’s energy supply, weaken industrial โขoutput, and exert psychological pressure, asโค attacks on critical infrastructure hinder both civilian life and military logistics.
In August,nearlyโ 150 Ukrainian miners were rescued following a Russian attack on mines in the region,though tragically,one worker was โkilled.
