Mudslide Strikes Eastern China Village, Leaves Residents Missing


(MENAFN) A mudslide strikes a village in eastern China’s Jiangxi province early Saturday, killing at least one person and leaving 11 others unaccounted for, according to reports.

The incident takes place in Ji’an city following several days of intense rainfall associated with Typhoon Saudel. The heavy downpours trigger the landslide, which affects the village and prompts an immediate emergency response.

Rescue teams recover three people from the affected area. One of those found is pronounced dead, while two others are rescued alive and remain in stable condition, according to authorities.

Search and rescue efforts continue as emergency personnel look for the missing residents. Authorities are also moving people from affected areas to safer locations and taking precautionary steps to reduce the risk of additional disasters.
