At least five dead, six injured and 48 missing in coal mine collapse in China’s Inner Mongolia



At least five people have been killed, six injured and 48 others still missing, a day after the collapse of a coal mine in China’s northern region of Inner Mongolia. The open-pit mine operated by Xinjing Coal Mining company had collapsed in a landslide, leaving dozens of workers buried under the debris. State media reports said the collapse affected a “wide area”. Search and rescue operations resumed this morning, after they were disrupted when a second landslide occurred hours after the first. President Xi Jinping has ordered officials to do everything possible to search for the missing.
