BEIJING (AP) — Five people were killed and 12 others remained
trapped after a landslide in northwestern China, state media
said Tuesday.
The landslide shortly before 7 a.m. buried 33 people in Nanhe
township of Longnan city in Gansu province, according to the
official Xinhua News Agency.
The cause was unclear. Photos and video posted online by state
broadcaster CCTV showed three excavators and rescuers on mounds
of earth in an otherwise heavily wooded green area. The sky
appeared sunny and clear.
Authorities relocated residents while rescue operations were
underway.
