Thirteen miners have been trapped in a gold mine in the Far Eastern Amur region of Russia after a rock fall, the Russian Emergency Ministry said on Tuesday.
The Amur region government declared an emergency to mobilize all available resources to rescue miners from the Pioneer mine in the Zeya district.
The miners are known to be in a gallery at a depth of 125 meters and are not accessible for communication.
All workers are reportedly from other Russian regions.
