Nine people were dead and seven trapped in a coal mine accident in central China's Henan province at around midnight of August 2, said local authorities.
A total of 127 miners were underground and 111 were lifted to the ground safely after a gas outburst occurred at the Sanyuandong Coal Mine in Baiping Township, Dengfeng City, at 11:19 PM Monday, said a spokesperson with Zhengzhou Coal Industry Co., Ltd., which runs the mine.
The coal mine has a designed annual output of 300,000 tonnes.
