BEIJING, China: Local authorities said a fire at the Shanjiaoshu coal mine in Guizhou province, southern China, killed 16 people over the weekend.
In a statement, the Panzhou city government said that an initial investigation showed that those who died were trapped after a conveyor belt caught fire.
