Chinese

mine explosions kill 53

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Explosions in two coal mines at opposite ends of China have killed at

least 53 workers and injured many more.

A gas explosion on Saturday in Jixi, in Heilongjiang province in

the north-east, killed 21 miners, said the official news agency Xinhua.

A few hours later, a similar explosion killed 32 miners in

Fuyuan in Yunnan province in China's south-west.

China's mines are among the

most dangerous in the world with more than 5,000 deaths reported every year.

Rescuers are still searching for six miners missing after the Jixi explosion.

Twenty-eight miners were injured in the Fuyuan blast.
