A fire at a coal mine in northeast China killed 24 workers early morning today, Chinese state media reported.
The blaze at the mine in Liaoning province also left 52 injured, Xinhua news agency said, quoting the state-owned Fuxin Coal Corporation.
There were no immediate details on the cause of the fire but mining accidents are common in China, the world’s largest consumer of coal, where mine operators often skirt safety regulations.
