Fourteen miners were reported missing after a gas explosion early Wednesday
in southwest China's Guizhou Province, the local mine safety authorities said.
The accident occurred at 1:30 a.m. Wednesday at the Fengxiangpo Coal Mine, a
village-run pit in Kaiyang County, on the outskirts of the provincial capital of
Guiyang, said a spokesman with the provincial coal mine safety supervision
bureau.
He said Fengxiangpo is a licensed coal mine which basically meets production
safety standards.
Rescuers are busy searching for the trapped miners, whose whereabouts are
still unknown.
