CHINA MINE DISASTER: 90 Killed in Shanxi Coal Mine Gas Explosion | ON CAM | Times Now World A devastating gas explosion at a coal mine in China’s Shanxi province has killed at least 90 people, according to state media, marking the country’s deadliest mining disaster in over a decade. The blast struck the Liushenyu Coal Mine with 247 workers on duty, triggering a massive rescue operation as hundreds of responders rushed to locate survivors and evacuate the injured. Over 100 miners have been hospitalised, while search efforts continue for those still missing. Authorities say dangerous gas levels, including carbon monoxide, had exceeded limits inside the mine. Officials linked to the mine have been detained, and an investigation is underway. President Xi Jinping has called for full-scale rescue efforts and strict accountability, as the tragedy once again puts the spotlight on safety risks in China’s coal heartland. #china #chinamineblast #shanxi #coalminedisaster #breakingnews #mineexpl
