BEIJING — State media say at least 46 miners were killed when an explosion ripped through a mine in the central Chinese province of Henan.
The State Administration of Work Safety said the blast early today hit a mine in Pingding shan city in the province. The official Xinhua News Agency said at least 12 miners are missing.
Safety has improved in recent years, but China’s mining industry is by far the world’s deadliest. Accidents and blasts killed more than 2,600 coal miners last year.
