Methane blast rocks Siberia mine-agencies

MOSCOW, May 24 (Reuters) A methane explosion ripped through a coal mine in Siberia where 217 miners were working underground, but there was no immediate word on casualties, Russian news agencies quoted regional officials as saying today.

The mine is in the Kemerovo region in western Siberia, near to the Ulyanovskaya mine where 110 miners were killed in a methane blast in March this year.
