KIEV (Reuters) - President Viktor Yanukovich ordered a national day of mourning Sunday as the number of dead in two separate accidents in Ukrainian coal mines rose to 27.
An explosion in a mine in the Luhansk region early Friday killed at least 20 people and injured two, the Emergencies Ministry said. Six miners remained missing.
Also early Friday, seven miners died and four were injured at a state-owned mine in the Donetsk region when a piece of heavy machinery collapsed. Four people were missing.
The Luhansk accident was the deadliest in a Ukrainian coal mine since 2007, raising concern over the industry's safety standards. The blast-hit mined is owned by Ukraine's richest man, steel tycoon Rinat Akhmetov.
Yanukovich ordered his government Friday to investigate the accidents and develop a new program to ensure miners' safety. He published a decree Saturday ordering state flags to fly at half mast Sunday.
The Emergencies Ministry said the causes of both accidents had yet to be established.
