There are three injuries and two missing in the blast. Police were hunting for three shareholders of the coal mine, and cause of the accident was being investigated, said Xie Guanghui, head of the Yongxing County government. One of the three had been put under control, Xie added.

Police said the detonators and dynamites might be illegally bought and stored. |
