Dozens of people remained missing on Friday following a collapse at a coal mine in northern China that killed six, state media reported.
Rescuers operate rescue machineries to conduct rescue works at the site of a collapsed coal mine in Alxa Left Banner of Alxa League, north China’s Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, Feb. 23, 2023.
China’s ministry of emergency management urged “all-out efforts to search for the missing personnel without delay, and not to lose hope of finding them,” state news agency Xinhua reported Friday. “I had just started work when I saw slag falling down the slope. The situation got worse and worse,” a rescued worker named Ma Jianping told CCTV.
CCTV said police were investigating, while Xinhua on Friday said the ministry of emergency management had called for “comprehensive investigations.”Video posted on social media by a coal truck driver on Wednesday showed rocks cascading down a slope, kicking up clouds of dust that engulfed several vehicles.
