An explosion in the mine on August 4, 2011, killed one worker and injured 25 others, including several who received severe burns.[1] The explosion, at a depth of 155 m, was attributed to methane gas accumulation.[2] Ukraine's Minister of Energy and Coal Industry, Yuriy Boyko, speculated that there had been errors in installation of a ventilation system intended to prevent methane build-up. Boyko announced that the mine's director and safety manager would be suspended while the accident was investigated.[1]
