Four people believed to be illegal miners were feared dead after a landslide at an opencast lignite mine at Dubrave in northeast Bosnia, according to Sky News.
Mining inspector Nuraga Duranovic said at least four men are believed to have been buried by some 5,000 cubic meters of soil and rescues are working hard to dig them out.
Duranovic said the men had entered the mine illegally, probably with the intention to steal coal.
