Budapest, November 30 (MTI) – Prime Minister Viktor Orbán expressed sympathy on behalf of all Hungarians to Polish counterpart Beata Szydlo over a mining disaster caused by an earthquake that claimed one life and the disappearance of several people in south-west Poland, his press chief said on Wednesday.

Orbán expressed shock and said he trusted those unaccounted for would be brought to the surface in the next few hours. He offered Hungary’s help in the rescue operation, Bertalan Havasi said.

One miner died and seven went missing when a shaft collapsed 1,100 metres below the surface in a copper mine in Polkowice on Tuesday.
