The death toll in an eastern China coal mine collapse has risen to 11, with 10 miners still trapped underground, AP reported quoting state media.

One week after the disaster, rescue crews were clearing fallen rock from the shaft, with the remaining miners believed to be located 74 meters (242 feet) below the surface, the official Xinhua News Agency said late Friday.

It said that rescuers were making progress but gave no indication of when they expected to break through. More than 300 people were inside the mine at the time of the collapse.
