A fire at a coal mining site in central Kazakhstan on August 17 killed three workers and injured more than a dozen. Two more workers have yet to be found at the “Kazakhstan” mine, operated by ArcelorMittal Temirtau, a subsidiary of Luxemburg-registered ArcelorMittal. In November last year, five miners died at the “Lenin” mine as a result of an underground explosion. Coal mining is one of the main industries of the Karaganda region.
