At least one person has died and 28 remain missing after a landslide in south-western China, according to Chinese state media.
The landslide struck Jinping village in Sichuan province burying 10 houses and trapping several residents. Two people were rescued.
A command center has been set up at the scene according to a statement by the county’s emergency management bureau.
According to reports, villagers have said large rocks had been frequently seen rolling down the mountain over the last six months.
Images from state media show a huge collapse of mud and rock from a steep mountainside, cutting through what appears to be a small village.
Hundreds of emergency workers are searching for survivors, according to a statement from China’s Ministry of Emergency Management. Around 200 people have been evacuated.
