Chinese government officials told the official Xinhua News Agency the first blast occurred last Friday in a Shanxi province mine when 121 miners were working underground.

Of those underground, 95 were immediately evacuated. Five miners were found alive and 10 bodies were recovered before a second explosion during rescue efforts Saturday morning left 20 injured, Xinhua said.

Eleven other miners remain missing.
