Moscow, Nov 26 — The death toll from a coal mine accident in the Russian city of Kemerovo had\u00a0climbed to 52 on Thursday, according to authorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The dead includes those from rescue teams, said the Ministry of Emergency Situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So far, 239 people have been evacuated from the mine after the ignition of coal dust caused heavy smoke at a depth of 250 meters (820 feet), while 45 people who were injured were hospitalized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the Kemerovo Oblast governor’s office, 285 miners were in a shaft when the incident occurred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kemerovo Oblast is one of Russia’s most important industrial regions in southwestern Siberia, with some of the world’s largest coal deposits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heavy smoke is hindering rescue efforts to save miners who are still trapped in the shaft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Kemerovo Oblast prosecutor’s office has started an investigation into the accident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Russian President Vladimir Putin offered his condolences to relatives of those killed and hoped for the early evacuation of those still underground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
