(Reuters) - A miner died after a rock collapse at the Denisovsky Vostochny coal mine in Siberia, Russia's ministry of emergency situations said on Tuesday.

The miner's body was pulled out from under the rubble by rescuers, while three other miners were able to escape, the ministry said on the Telegram messaging app.

The mine, located in Russia's largest republic known as Sakha or Yakutia in its Far East region along the Arctic Ocean, belongs to Russia's Kolmar group of coal mining enterprises, Kommersant newspaper reported.

The mine's production capacity is 4 million metric tons per year, the newspaper reported.
