Details: The strike caused significant damage to the facility. A total of 86 workers were underground when it occurred, as an earlier power outage had prevented them from being brought to the surface.

All the miners were immediately evacuated to the surface. Those injured are receiving the necessary assistance.

The facility's operations have been suspended for now. The company is assessing the extent of the damage and preparing for emergency repair work, which will begin as soon as possible.
