Forty people are thought to have died following an explosion in a coal mine in northern Turkey, the country's interior minister has said.
Suleyman Soylu said 58 people had been rescued from the mine and over a dozen remained trapped.
Around 110 people were in the mine at the time of the blast on Friday - almost half of them at over 300 metres deep.
Emergency crews worked through the night, digging through rock to try to reach more survivors.
