Landslide buries people, destroys buildings in south-western China

A major landslide struck southwest China's Chongqing province on July 17, 2026, near Pengshui along the Wujiang River. The disaster trapped people under rubble, damaged residential buildings, and caused significant destruction. Rescue teams recovered seven survivors, though the death toll remains unclear. Witnesses described the event as chaotic and dangerous, with many homes collapsing and vehicles buried. The region is prone to landslides due to its mountainous geography and heavy rains, with previous incidents like the May landslide in Yongchuan resulting in fatalities.
