Mexican military officials announced Friday they have sent specialized rescue teams to assist in the ongoing search for four miners who disappeared following a mine cave-in in the country’s northwestern Sinaloa state.
The mining accident took place Wednesday at the Minerales de Sinaloa facility located in El Rosario municipality, according to a defense ministry announcement.
Military officials transported 38 search and rescue experts via aircraft to the accident site, where they joined 60 military personnel already providing security for the operation. The rescue effort also includes participation from local emergency responders and additional rescue units.
