After a meeting of a team expanded to include specialists at the rescue command center, the rescue operation manager decided to continue the search for the remaining two miners who were in the N-6 longwall - penetrating the longwall from the side of the N-12 top gallery. The rescue workers will attempt to clear the debris from the longwall inlet. If, after removing the debris from a section of the longwall it turns out that the rescue operation can be carried out safely, they will continue.   

So far, 82 rescue teams have taken part in the operation.
