Eight killed and thousands evacuated after huge landslide in 'China megacity'

A major landslide occurred on the outskirts of Chongqing, a large city in southwest China, resulting in at least eight deaths and 34 people still missing. The incident involved the collapse of a mountainside, which buried multiple residential buildings. Local officials reported that over 1,000 residents were evacuated due to the danger. Rescue operations were ongoing, with hundreds of rescuers working on-site and drones being used to survey the affected areas. Chinese President Xi Jinping has requested an investigation into the causes of the disaster. Officials have warned of continued risks of further landslides due to extreme weather conditions.
