Four households, with a total of 11 registered residents, were unaccounted for after the landslide at Xujiaping Village, Mianning County, Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture, said a statement from the emergency response office of the provincial government, which reported the accident at 9 am.

It was unknown whether all the 11 people were at home when the accident happened early today, so the exact number of people missing was still to be confirmed, it said.
