Ten people were missing and three others injured after a huge swathe of mud, rocks and debris tumbled into the Jinsha River, destroying parts of the Huangping village in Yongshan County of China's southwestern Yunnan Province yesterday.
The wave triggered by the landslide also caused damages to Kahaluo Township of neighboring Leibo County of Sichuan Province, according to local publicity authorities.
The size of the fallen mountainside was estimated at 200 meters wide and 250 meters deep, state-run Xinhua news agency reported today.
Several vehicles, motorcycles and boats were damaged by the landslide.
Another landslide this morning in China's northeastern Dalian City buried six people.
Rescue efforts of the two landslides are under way.
Geological disasters were frequently reported around China this summer after heavy rains.
