Seven people were killed in a landslide in China's northern Shanxi Province early today.
One person was rescued.
The landslide took place in Xiguan Village of Jixian County, which is situated in a valley.
Some 2,000 cubic meters of earth and stone buried a two- story building, trapping eight people, local officials said.
Rescuers later saved one person and recovered seven bodies.
People living nearby have been asked to evacuate to a safe place, state-run Xinhua news agency reported.
The rescued person has been hospitalised.
