China Reports Five Deaths in Rain-Triggered Landslides
(MENAFN) At least five people were killed after being trapped in a rain-triggered landslide in China’s southwestern Yunnan province on Sunday, state media reported, citing local authorities.
The landslide struck a road in Lancang Lahu Autonomous County, located in the city of Pu’er, burying a car with five people inside, according to Beijing-based media.
Rescuers launched an hours-long operation to reach the victims, but tragically, all five were found dead beneath the rubble.
