WARSAW, June 8 (Reuters) - A 35-year-old miner died in an
accident in the Bogdanka coal mine in eastern Poland early on
Wednesday, a police spokesperson said. 
    The police were informed of an accident in a mine owned by
Lubelski Wegiel Bogdanka  LWBP.WA  involving four men and one
miner had died, while two were hospitalised, a local press
officer told Reuters.
    The cause of the accident is being investigated, she added.
    The company declined to comment on the accident and said it
would hold a news conference later in the day.  
    In April, two mines belonging to state-owned JSW  JSW.WA 
saw fatal accidents over just one week, and Polish Prime Mnister
Mateusz Morawiecki promised a safety review of the
mines. urn:newsml:reuters.com:*:nL5N2WN1R8
