BEIJING (Reuters) - Police detained the owner of a coal mine in China's northwestern Shaanxi province where a fire killed 28 miners, Xinhua news agency reported on Sunday.
All the miners in the shaft died when an underground cable caught fire on Saturday night at the Xiaonangou coal mine in Hancheng City, the report said, citing the general office of the Shaanxi provincial government.
The report gave no other details.
Thousands of people are killed in China's mines every year despite government pledges to shut or consolidate many small or unsafe operations.
