BEIJING (AP) — A mudslide killed two people and left 10 missing in eastern China, damaging a dozen houses following days of torrential rain brought by Typhoon Saudel, state media said Sunday.
The mudslide hit part of a village in Suichuan County in Jiangxi province early Saturday, prompting rescuers to rush to the scene and relocate residents to safer ground to prevent further danger, authorities said in a statement. One person pulled out was found dead, while two others were rescued alive and in good condition, it said.
Rescuers on Sunday morning found one of the missing people, who was dead among collapsed houses, state broadcaster CCTV reported.
CCTV separately reported that two people were killed in Hunan province in south-central China following downpour brought by the typhoon. The report did not specify what caused the death but said the rain triggered landslides and other disasters.
