At least 23 were also injured in the blast that ripped through the Listvyanino mine in the town of Belov in the Kemerovo region early Thursday morning, Sergei Cheremnov , spokesman for the regional administration , told Interfax news agency. There were 103 miners , instead of the initial figure of 240 , working underground at the time of the explosion , Itar-Tass news agency quoted the Russian Emergency Situations Ministry as saying. The ministry said 60 miners were rescued to the surface , but Cheremnov put the number at 30. Nine rescue teams are working on the scene and a special committee has been set up to investigate the cause of the incident. The roof of the damaged coal mine caved in and the dense smoke impeded the rescue efforts , said Itar-Tass. An explosion in a coal mine in the Kemerovo region killed 45 people in April and 11 others suffered methane poisoning when fireengulfed another colliery in the region in June.
