Four people died and 16 were wounded when a bomb hit the bus transporting miners of the Chervonopartyzanske Mine Administration (Chervonopartyzansk, the Luhansk oblast) of the DTEK holding, General Director of DTEK Maksym Tymchenko stated at a briefing. “Four people died, 16 injured and two are in the ER,” he informed.

On July 10, at 5:40 pm the bus that was transporting miners to their work got caught in a mortar-artillery fire. One of the shells hit the bus, according to DTEK press service.

In order to avoid the tragedies in the future, the holding decided to suspend operation of a number of its companies in the region. In particular, Tymchenko stated that DTEK decided to temporarily close four mines in Luhansk oblast, where 4,500 people are employed and also two enrichment plants.
