A gas explosion at a coal mine in northern China killed at least 105 people, the official Xinhua news agency said Friday.
The explosion hit the Xinyao mine in the coal-rich Shanxi province late on Wednesday, but the managers did not report it immediately and tried to launch their own rescue operation.
According to Chinese officials, the delay caused the number of victims to rise.
The police have arrested the manager of the mine and Xinhua reported that the accident may have been caused by illegal activity in an unauthorized area of the mine.
China has the worst mine accident rate in the world with more than 5,000 miners losing their lives every year.
Officials announced Thursday that the country's coal production could reach 2.5 billion tons by 2010, up from about 2.2 billion tons in 2005.
