Five caretaker pump operators at the “Trepça” mining company were trapped underground for several hours due to technical problems with electricity supply.
Ibrahim Jonuzi, Chief Trade Unionist at Trepça, confirmed to KosovaPress that the workers remained in their posts for around 8–9 hours until the situation stabilized.
“There are five caretaker pump operators who stayed at their workstations in the mine due to technical issues with electricity. They were there for about 8–9 hours,” Jonuzi stated.
All five miners were safely evacuated without any incidents and returned home. Their health condition is reported to be good, with no consequences from the incident.
