A state-run news agency says 20 people are trapped after a coal mine flooded in central China.

The official Xinhua News Agency said the flood occurred early Sunday morning in Henan province. The report cited local authorities as saying that about 20 people were trapped underground.

China's mines are the world's deadliest, with explosions, cave-ins and floods killing nearly 3,800 people last year.
