<p>A fourth explosion in nine days has ripped through a New Zealand coal mine, where volatile conditions have prevented recovery of 29 workers&#8217; bodies.</p>
<p>The miners, including two Britons, were trapped by the first blast at the Pike River Coal mine on the South Island on November 19 and declared dead after a massive second blast five days later.</p>
<p>There were no injuries from the latest blast. People working near the mine entrance were moved away from the area for their safety.</p>
<p>Police superintendent Dave Cliff said &#8220;we are doing all we can&#8221; to recover the victims, but the new explosion showed the risks involved and the need to keep rescue workers safe.</p>
<p>The new blast was possibly sparked by methane gas leaking from coal seams and a smouldering fire underground.</p>
<p>Pete Rodger, 40, from Perthshire, and Malcolm Campbell, 25, from St Andrews, Fife, were among the missing miners.</p>
