“We will make some pause to re-ventilate the air, but we will work around the clock to find and lift bodies,” he said in an interview with RTVI.

Chupriyan noted that the specialists approve the daily plan. 

“Samples are taken: external with air intake from the mine, but the most accurate forecast is determined when the sampling is taken inside the mine body.

To do this, the rescuers go down, take the fence, and, as you understand, the closer to the epicenter, the more accurate the concentration, ”the minister added.

Chupriyan noted that activities inside the mine are "in any case a risk."

Earlier it became known that employees of the Russian Emergencies Ministry lifted to the surface of the bodies of three more miners who died as a result of an emergency at the Listvyazhnaya mine in the Kemerovo region.
