Copper mine collapses in Turkey's Siirt

A copper mine collapsed in Turkey's southeastern town of Sirvan on Thursday, killing at least four people, broadcaster CNN Turk reported, while at least another dozen people were trapped.

Rescue teams and ambulances were dispatched to the mine based in Siirt province, CNN Turk said. It said the mine was operated by a private company which it did not name.

A lawmaker for the pro-Kurdish Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) from Siirt, Besime Konca, said on Twitter that 14 people were trapped while one worker was rescued wounded, Reuters reports.
