Death toll in Russian mine disaster reaches 106

Rescuers found one survivor on Tuesday and hunted for four still missing in a Siberian coal mine, after 106 workers died in Russia's worst mining disaster since the collapse of the Soviet Union. Smoke, pockets of gas and collapsed roofs were hampering rescue efforts in the warren of shafts nearly 300 metres (1,000 feet) underground at the wrecked Ulyanovskaya mine in the Kemerovo region.
