A deadly mudslide in eastern China has left three people dead and nine others missing, according to local authorities. The disaster was triggered by torrential rain linked to Typhoon Saudel, which hit the region earlier this week. Emergency teams are searching for the missing individuals in the affected area.
The death toll rose to three on Sunday as rescue operations continued. Officials have not yet confirmed the exact location of the mudslide, but it is believed to have occurred in a rural area. The typhoon brought heavy rainfall that overwhelmed the region’s drainage systems, leading to the collapse of land.
Local media reported that the situation remains critical, with families of the missing waiting for news. Authorities have urged residents to remain cautious and avoid areas prone to landslides. The incident highlights the increasing risks posed by extreme weather events in the region.
Further details on the extent of damage and the full impact of the disaster are expected in the coming days.
