MOSCOW, February 23 (RIA Novosti) - Two miners have died in a cave-in in a mine in the town of Prokopyevsk in the southwest Siberian Kemerovo Region, a Russian police source told RIA Novosti on Monday.
"Subsidence in the mine led to a roof cave-in. As a result, the mine's deputy director for production and a blast engineer died of their injuries at the scene," the source said.
A third mine worker has been hospitalized with injuries sustained in the accident, which happened on Sunday.
The reason for the cave-in is being established.
