Rescuers pulled four miners out of a flooded coal mine in the central province of Hunan on Sunday, more than three days after an accident trapped them underground, state media said.

Eleven of the 16 miners trapped in a flooded colliery pit in central China are alive and in the process of being rescued, state media reported early Sunday.

Fifteen miners died and another three were injured when a tramcar derailed in a coal mine in central China, authorities said Thursday, in the latest accident to hit the dangerous industry.
