According to him, this was yet another terrorist attack; in addition to civilian infrastructure, five residential buildings were damaged.

Repair work was carried out at the sites throughout the night and is continuing. Teams of electricians, heating engineers and all utility services are involved.

As a result of the power cut, nine workers were trapped in one of the mines; rescue workers evacuated them to the surface.
