The death toll rose to six by Saturday due to a flooding accident at a coal mine in Wuzhong, Northwest China's Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, Xinhua reported.
There's still one miner missing. The accident happened at 9:00 p.m. Friday.
Water has been pumped out from the mine but the silt poses a challenge to the rescue efforts, Xinhua said.
