Rescuers said on Thursday that they had found one body of the three trapped Chinese miners in a chrome mine in the northern Albanian town of Bulqiza, Xinhua reported.

Two Albanian rescue teams have been sent in for the search operation, together with Albanian and Chinese mining experts, after a hydrogen gas explosion in the chrome mine on Saturday, said Mehmet Hasalami, head of the Albanian Mining Rescue Unit, earlier.

The Albanian government and the Chinese Embassy in Albania have also dispatched a working group to the mine, respectively.

The Chinese Embassy confirmed on Sunday that three other Chinese miners inflicted minor injuries in the accident.
