DEVECIKONAGI, Turkey, Dec. 11 (UPI) -- Nineteen miners were reported killed Thursday night in a suspected methane gas explosion at a coal mine in western Turkey, authorities said Friday.
The blast occurred in the village of Devecikonagi, in the western province of Bursa at a depth of more than 700 feet, causing a mine shaft to collapse and starting a fire, the BBC reported.
Six bodies were recovered Friday morning. Turkish media, quoting the country's labor minister, said 13 other miners who were trapped were also dead.
Rescue efforts had been delayed by the high concentration of gas in the mine.
