An unusually strong quake struck LKAB's mine in Malmberget on Christmas Day, measuring 2.7 on the company's local scale. The tremors were distinctly felt in nearby Gällivare, where residents reported shaking houses and rattling dishes. Work in the affected hanging wall has been temporarily halted pending an investigation.
State-owned mining company LKAB failed to report serious workplace incidents to the Swedish Work Environment Authority, according to an investigation by Arbetet newspaper. The company now admits the error and is in contact with the authority. Employees report life-threatening near-death experiences in the mines.
