ANKARA – Eight people are missing after a landslide struck Douxi village in Hunan, central China, early Sunday. Four houses were affected, and rescue efforts are ongoing, according to state media.
Heavy rains continue to batter the region, prompting a yellow alert for rainstorms in Hunan. Last week, six people were confirmed dead in Fujian province after landslides caused by heavy rain.
In the past four days, torrential rains in Guangdong province have resulted in 47 deaths, causing severe flooding, mudslides, and extensive damage to infrastructure and crops.
