“Thanks to the operational work of the employees of the Kirov Electricity Networks, already at 20:15, voltage was applied to the Skochinsky mine, and the main ventilation fan at the Chelyuskintsev mine was also turned on,” the ministry said in a statement.

Earlier it was reported that as a result of the shelling by the Ukrainian troops in the DPR, the Chelyuskintsev mine and the Skochinsky mine ventilation shaft remained de-energized, more than 70 miners are underground.

At the moment, the enterprises operate as usual, there were no casualties.
