Two Miners from Mopani Copper Mines Mufulira Division have been seriously injured in an underground blast.
The miners who sustained multiple injuries are admitted to Malcolm Watson Hospital intensive care unit and are still unconcious.
The accident happened when the transformer the duo was working on underground, exploded.
The cause of the explosion is not yet known.
Mufulira District Commissioner, Dyford Muulwa, named the injured as John Banda, 58, of Francis Mukuka compound and Joe Panalo, 40 of Butondo compound.
And Mr. Muulwa said the explosion had nothing to do with the power outage which affected the country.
Mr. Muulwa said he is still waiting for a detailed report from Mopani Copper Mines management on the accident.
