Poland: More blasts at mine where rescuers seek 7 missing

WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Officials in Poland say new methane explosions in a coal mine have injured 10 rescuers who were preparing to search for seven people missing since two blasts killed five a day earlier. The state Supreme Mining Authority says there were no fatalities from the new explosions Thursday night at the Pniowek mine in southern Poland. Ten people were hurt, three seriously. The mine operator said earlier that rescue crews were pumping air underground to trying to lower methane levels and reduce the risk of further blasts. The company says 25 people who were injured in two explosions Wednesday remain hospitalized, nine of them in very serious condition. Preparations for the search to resume were suspended after Thursday’s blasts.
