    GDANSK, Sept 14 (Reuters) - Polish miner Lubelski Wegiel
Bodganka  LWBP.WA  lowered its full-year production target for
commercial coal to about 8.3 million tonnes from a previous
figure of about 9.2 million, the company said on Wednesday.
    The change, equivalent to about 10% of its annual output,
was because of the clamping of a longwall section in the
Stefanow exploitation sector, leading to an extraction stoppage,
the company said.
    "There was a sudden and unexpected rise in service pressure
in a long wall that led to its clamping," it added in a
statement.
    The miner said it was working to free the affected sections
and resume extraction.
