A cave-in at an iron ore mine in east China's Anhui Province trapped seven miners on Tuesday evening. Rescuers said they had yet to establish contact with the miners.
The collapse at the Yangchong Iron Mine in Fanchang County of Wuhu City happened around 6 p.m. on Tuesday when falling rock and mud blocked access to the shaft.
Rescuers were now excavating the blocked lane and trying to ventilate the shaft.
Provincial work safety department officials were at the site of the accident while the local public security and health care authorities have also sent rescue teams from other mines to assist in the operation.
