A powerful gas blast ripped through a coal mine in northwestern China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region yesterday, killing at least 65 workers and leaving 18 missing.
Four miners were rescued in a colliery that was operating without a safety license.
The explosion rocked the Shenlong Coal Mine in Fukang City, which is located about 62 kilometers northeast of the regional capital Urumqi, at around 2:30am.
Eighty-seven miners were underground at the time.
Emergency teams recovered the bodies of 65 of the victims late last night while the search continued for the missing.
Li Yizhong, head of the State Administration of Work Safety, and Zhao Tiechui, China's top administrator of coal mine safety, arrived in Fukang yesterday afternoon to coordinate the rescue work.
Li urged local authorities to find the cause of the blast as soon as possible.
Xinjiang's top officials, including the region's Party Secretary Wang Lequan, also rushed to the scene to assist recovery efforts.
The mine was operating far above its capacity, according to Xinhua news agency.
In March, the regional coal mine industry administration authorized the colliery to produce 30,000 tons of coal a year, but Shenlong turned out about 170,000 tons in the first half of this year.
In addition, Xinjiang's coal mine safety supervisory body never authorized the colliery's operation. It found 14 potential threats during a spot check at the facility in January after receiving the mine's application for a license.
China's coal mines are the world's deadliest, with explosions, floods and fires killing thousands of workers each year.
In 2004, 6,027 coal miners were killed across the Chinese mainland, according to the Website of the State Administration of Work Safety.
Accidents killed 2,187 coal miners in the first five months of this year, up 9.7 percent year-on-year, said Wang Dexue, deputy director of the SAWS.
