ChainCatcher reported that according to Cryptonews, the police of the Republic of Dagestan, Russia, and energy officials jointly raided an underground cryptocurrency mining hideout in Makhachkala and found 17 mining equipment. These devices operate in a small space several meters underground, and the scene is quite shocking.

It is reported that the mine is operated by "power thieves" and miners have begun to set up underground mines and mobile mining units in many places. The cabinet pointed out that these illegal cryptocurrency miners are also related to the fire incident at the 110 kV Novaya substation.

This action is part of Dagestan's intensified crackdown on illegal mining activities in the face of energy difficulties. 💡
