Nine workers have been rescued from a Chinese coal mine, a week after the site was flooded.
Hundreds of rescue workers are continuing to search for survivors.
Around 153 miners were believed to be underground when the accident happened last Sunday.
China Central Television showed live footage from the Wangjialing mine, in the northern province of Shanxi, of several of the rescued men being rushed to hospital in ambulances.
At least 3,000 rescuers have been racing against time to pump water out of the mine after it flooded on March 28.
The accident was attributed to lax safety standards by the mine owner, the Huajin Coking Coal Company, which failed to heed repeated warnings that water was accumulating in the pit days before the disaster.
Workers at the mine, which was under construction, had also been ordered to step up the pace of work in order to ensure that coal production began by October this year, the safety watchdog said.
It has been a disastrous past week for China's mining sector.
Altogether, nearly 30 people have died and almost 200 are missing after five separate coal mining accidents.
