DONETSK, June 12 (RIA Novosti) - Another body has been recovered from a coal mine in eastern Ukraine where 11 miners are now confirmed to have died as result of an accident on Monday, a local official said on Friday.

Two miners are still missing at the Skochinsky mine in the Donetsk region. More than 30 got out of the mine and were hospitalized with various injuries following what is thought to have been a gas explosion 1,250 meters below the surface.

"Rescuers have lifted to the surface the body of a miner that was found yesterday and have found one more person with no signs of life," a spokesman for the regional mining industry inspectorate said.

Ukrainian mines are considered extremely dangerous due to the use of obsolete equipment and numerous safety violations.
