The rescuers have retrieved 34 bodies so far and six miners were pulled out alive from Wednesday night till Friday morning, a working team sent by the State Administration of Work Safety told state-run Xinhua news agency.
In a miraculous rescue operation, 114 trapped workers were pulled out alive from a flooded mine in north China, nine days after water gushed into it, even as search continued for the 39 missing persons.
At least 35 people were killed and 44 others trapped after a gas explosion ripped through a coalmine in Central China on early Tuesday morning. The victims had allegedly been engaged in illegal mining in the underground mine.
