MOSCOW: At least 11 people died in an accident at a coal mine in Russia's Siberia on Thursday , local authorities said, as emergency workers tried to rescue dozens more miners who were still trapped deep underground.

Eleven people were found dead, Regional Governor Sergei Tsivilev said, and 46 were still underground. Dozens of others were being treated in hospital, at least some of them with smoke poisoning. Four were in critical condition. Some 285 people were inside the mine when smoke spread through the ventilation shaft, the emergency ministry said. At least 239 made it above ground, authorities said. They did not say what had caused the smoke.

"For now there is no heavy smoke, so we hope that there is no fire," Tsivilev said in video comments shared on his Telegram channel."We have no communication lines with these people, the underground communications system is not working."
