Another 41 people were injured in the explosions at the Raspadskaya mine in Siberia's coal-rich Kemerovo region 3,000 km (1,850 miles) east of Moscow late on Saturday, the Emergencies Ministry said.
Sixty-four miners and 19 rescuers were unaccounted for underground nearly 20 hours after the first explosion just before midnight (1700 GMT) on Saturday. Both explosions were caused by methane gas build-up, the ministry said.

WV mine explosion had precursor earthquake in southern part of the state. This latest event seemingly had the explosion happening first, then an earthquake hours later at a remote point, however, seismic activity does predate in April. Hard to tell if this would be related to tectonic plate disturbance because the map is crude. Raspadskaya mines are about 1,800 miles east of moscow.
