Taiyuan， May 6 - Fifteen miners have been confirmed dead following Saturday's gas explosion in a coal mine in Linfen City, north China's Shanxi Province, rescuers said on Sunday.

 

Rescue operation is still going on.

 

The gas blast occurred around 1:50 p.m. on Saturday at Pudeng Coal Mine in Kecheng Township of Puxian County. About 30 miners were trapped underground, according to preliminary estimates. "The exact number of miners trapped underground is yet to be affirmed," said a spokesman for Shanxi Provincial1 Bureau of Coal Mine Safety Supervision2.

 

The cause of the gas explosion is being investigated.

 

Pudeng Coal Mine, which is in operation with permits, produces 150,000 tons of coal a year.
