Seven people have been confirmed dead and 11 others are missing after a gas outburst occurred early Thursday at a coal mine in central China's Henan Province.

A spokesman with the provincial work safety authorities said the gas rush happened shortly after the midnight, when 18 workers were operating underground at the Jiulishan Coal Mine in Jiaozuo.

The search and rescue is still on, the spokesman said.
