Turkish officials have said at least four workers have been killed by a landslide at a mine in south eastern Siirt province late yesterday.

Rescue workers were on Friday battling to save 13 miners trapped after the collapse of a copper mine.

Officials said: “Work began again at dawn to save 13 more workers”, adding that salvage services from across the region and rescue dogs were at the scene.

A photographer at the



scene said that dozens of family members of the trapped miners were surrounding the mine in a desperate wait for news.

The mine in the Sirvan district of Siirt province is owned by a private company, the Anadolu Agency said, without naming the firm.

The accident comes more than two years after the country’s worst modern industrial disaster in May 2014 which left 301 miners dead following a fire at the Soma coal mine in western Turkey.
