Seven killed in China landslide

Seven people were killed while one person was rescued when a landslide hit China's Shanxi province early Sunday, Xinhua reported.

The incident occurred at 2.20 a.m. in Xiguan Village of Jixian County, situated in a valley. Some 2,000 cubic metres of earth and stone buried a two-storey building, trapping eight people, according to the information office of the county government.

Rescuers later saved one person but found seven bodies.
