The Week in Kazakhstan: Death Underground - Аналитический интернет-журнал Власть

Five miners were killed as a result of an underground explosion in Shakhtinsk in the Karaganda region on November 3. The tragedy occurred at “Lenin,” a mine operated by ArcelorMittal Temirtau, a subsidiary of Luxemburg-registered ArcelorMittal. Last year, a gas leak killed 6 workers at a mine in Abai, a nearby village. The government said it would launch an investigation. Days before the explosion, Kazakhstan’s President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev had met with ArcelorMittal Temirtau workers, a routine visit that was planned ahead of the upcoming elections.
