Landslide in western China: Nine people rescued, 21 dead in Gansu

A landslide occurred in western China, near the city of Chongqing, in the district of Pengshui. The incident took place on Friday morning local time, causing several houses to collapse and trapping people inside. According to state media reports citing authorities, nine individuals were rescued so far, though the total number of casualties remains unclear. Residents reported hearing rockfalls before the landslide struck during the evacuation of 60 residents. The landslide also knocked down three power poles, leading to a power outage in the area. This event follows another deadly landslide in the northwestern province of Gansu last week, which claimed 21 lives near the city of Longnan. Authorities have deployed numerous emergency personnel and trained rescuers to the site.
