A Russian attack against a Ukrainian mine killed one worker and injured three, while 146 miners remained underground during a subsequent power outage, the DTEK energy company reported on Aug. 26.
"The attack damaged the enterprise's buildings and equipment, causing a power outage," the company commented on the attack against its facility.
"At that time, 146 miners were underground; their ascent to the surface is ongoing."
Though DTEK did not specify the exact location of the impacted mine, trade union leader Mykhailo Volynets reported earlier the same day that some 148 miners were trapped underground after a Russian attack against mines in the Dobropillia community in Donetsk Oblast.
Partially-occupied Donetsk Oblast in Ukraine's east remains one of the most war-affected regions in the country.
The industrialized and coal-rich oblast faces daily Russian attacks against civilian infrastructure and residential areas, forcing many of its residents to flee westward.
