China Landslide Leaves Two Dead, Five Missing


(MENAFN) A deadly landslide triggered by intense rainfall has struck southern China’s Guangdong province, leaving at least two dead and five unaccounted for, according to state media reports on Thursday.

The disaster unfolded Wednesday in Guangzhou, the provincial capital, as confirmed by local officials and reported by media.

Rescue teams have successfully extracted nine individuals from the wreckage, two of whom were pronounced dead at the scene.

Efforts continue as search and rescue operations persist in locating those still missing.

In response to the relentless downpour, authorities have evacuated over 75,000 residents across Guangdong province.

This tragic event follows last month’s severe flooding in northern Beijing, which claimed 44 lives.
