At least five coal miners were feared dead in Kazakhstan on Monday following an accident at an ArcelorMittal mine, the company said. "At present five people are still missing," ArcelorMittal said in a statement quoted by Reuters. "Although rescue services are on site and every effort is being made to locate those missing, it is believed that tragically they have died as a result of the accident." It said 95 miners were safely evacuated after the accident occurred in the early hours of the day at the Tentekskaya coal mine in Kazakhstan's industrial Karaganda region. The Kazakh Emergencies Ministry said the miners were trapped as a result of a methane explosion.
