SIX men are still trapped underground hours after a coal mine in north China's Shanxi Province flooded, the local government said.
The accident happened at about 4 am today in the city of Yangquan, where 12 people were carrying out illegal mining operations, the municipal government said.
Six of them managed to escape.
The miners had illegally dug a pit in a small room in a residential home. Although water levels in the pit have dropped following rescuers' efforts to pump water out, the rescuers said their work has been difficult because of a lack of geological data.
Rescue efforts and a further investigation into the accident are under way.
