Rescue Operation for Trapped Miners in Russia Terminated

After two weeks, efforts to rescue 13 miners trapped in a Russian gold mine have been halted due to safety concerns and flooding.

Rescue efforts for 13 miners trapped in a collapsed gold mine in Russia's Amur region have been called off after two weeks.
The decision to end the search was made due to the risk of further collapses and the flooded condition of the mine.
The miners were trapped over 120 meters underground following a landslide on March 18.
The managing director of the mine has been arrested amid an investigation into suspected safety rule violations.
Families of the deceased miners will receive compensation from the mine operator, one of Russia's largest gold producers.
