Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Saturday that the death toll in an underground coal mine explosion in northern Türkiye rose to 41.
The explosion occurred 300 meters below ground at 6:15 p.m. local time (1515 GMT) a day earlier at the Amasra Hard Coal Enterprise in the Bartin province, trapping 110 workers.
According to the local officials, 58 of the trapped workers later managed to get out on their own, and 11 others were injured and hospitalized.
Arriving at the scene in the town of Amasra, Erdogan vowed to "exert our best effort" to put the history of mining accidents to an end.
He told reporters that administrative and judicial authorities will investigate the incident to reveal what caused the explosion and who, if anyone, is responsible.
