As reported by Reuters and AFP, Sunday (11/4/2021) the Xinhua news agency reported that due to the floods that hit the area, some of the mines experienced power outages. On Saturday (10/4) afternoon local time, as many as 29 miners who were doing repairs at a Fengyuan coal mine, Hutubi were trapped.
Eight of the 29 workers who were at the scene have been rescued from the mine. Meanwhile, the rest are still trapped at the scene.
Rescuers have located the trapped miners, with 12 people on one platform, another 8 on the second platform, and one other person on an evacuation route where water has entered the mining area.
Rescuers are also trying to pump water from the flooded area and channel air into the mine.

Accidents at a number of mines in China are common, due to a lack of security and regulations.
In January, ten gold miners were confirmed killed in an explosion at a mine in China's Shandong province.
In December, 23 people died after being trapped in a mine in the southwestern city of Chongqing. Three months earlier, 16 people died in separate coal mines in the same area.
