Coal Mine Explosion In China Leaves 11 Dead

A coal mine explosion in Shaanxi province in northern China killed 11 people.

The blast occurred on Monday around 8:26 pm at the Xintai Coal Mine near the city of Yan’an.

Nine people were trapped inside the mine at the time of the explosion and were found with no vital signs at 9:00 am on Tuesday.

The two survivors were seriously injured and died after resuscitation efforts failed.

According to the report, 11 other persons had been lightly injured and had been transported to the hospital for treatment, adding that “their vital signs are stable”.

The cause of the accident is currently under investigation.

In recent decades, mining safety in China has improved, as has media coverage of major occurrences, many of which were previously missed.

Accidents can happen, though, in a sector where safety regulations are typically inadequate, especially at the most basic facilities.

A coal mine collapse in northern Inner Mongolia in February buried scores of people and cars beneath a mound of debris.

Authorities withheld the final casualties for months, finally revealing in June that 53 individuals had died in the catastrophe.
