A search and rescue operation conducted at the Tërnova mine in Bulqizë has concluded following a fatal accident. Authorities confirmed the recovery of the body of Ilir Kalaveri, a 40-year-old miner, from the depths of the facility. The incident occurred on Saturday afternoon when Kalaveri, who hailed from Burreli and was employed as a miner for the private entity “Eternal Security,” fell into a furnace.
He became trapped and covered by chromium material within the underground workings of the mine. Upon receiving the initial alarm signal, search and rescue teams, alongside police services, immediately mobilized to locate the missing worker. Rescue efforts were extensive, continuing for several hours under the challenging and hazardous conditions inherent to underground excavation.
The recovery of the body marked the conclusion of the intensive search. The investigation into the precise circumstances of the accident continues. The site remains a significant industrial location, and the retrieval of the 40-year-old miner underscores the dangers associated with deep subterranean mining operations.
Authorities are reviewing safety protocols related to older industrial sites to prevent similar occurrences in the future.
