Several people went missing after a mine accident in northeast China, state-run media said on Tuesday.

According to Global Times, multiple people went missing in the accident in a mine in the Heilongjiang province.

No details on the nature of accident were given, but the outlet said rescue work is underway.

On Nov. 16, at least 26 people were killed in a fire which broke out in a building of a coal mine company in Shanxi, northern China.

In August, at least 11 people lost their lives in a gas explosion at a coal mine in Shaanxi, a northwestern province.
