Rescuers have recovered five bodies of miners trapped in a flooded coal mine in Shanxi Province, the rescue headquarters said Tuesday.

The bodies were lifted to the ground Monday night from the flooded shaft of Wangjialing Coal Mine. Rescuers were still trying to locate the 33 miners believed to remain trapped underground.

On Monday, 115 workers were pulled out alive after being trapped for over a week in the flooded coal mine.
