Beijing, Oct 21 (IBNS): At least two people died and 20 others remained trapped at a coal mine in China on Saturday, media reports said on Sunday.

The incident occurred after a rock burst in the mine in Yuncheng County in east China's Shandong Province.

"The burst happened at around 11:00 p.m. and destroyed part of a water drainage tunnel in the coal mine. At that time, 334 people were working underground, of which 312 were later lifted to safety, according to Zhai Minghua, an expert with Shandong Energy Group Co. Ltd, which owns the coal mine,' Xinhua reported.

Rescue operation started immediately after the incident.

The cause of the mishap is being investigated.
