PRAGUE, Nov 23 (Reuters) - Two Polish miners died and three were injured at an OKD <NWRSsp.PR> <NWRS.L> mine when a tremor hit the Czech coal pit, the company said on Sunday.

The tremor hit the coal mine in the northeast of the Czech Republic shortly before midnight on Saturday while 21 miners were working there.

"We deeply regret any human life lost and feel sincere sympathy for the families and close relatives of the dead miners," said OKD Chief Executive Officer Klaus-Dieter Beck in a statement.

Seven miners have died in OKD mines so far this year. (Reporting by Jana Mlcochova)
