AT least two people have been confirmed killed and another 10 are missing after a landslide hit a hotel in central China's Hubei Province on Friday night.

A total of 15 people were trapped in the Mirage Hotel in Nanzhang County at around 7:30 p.m. Friday when around 3,000 cubic meters of debris slid down a slope behind the hotel, said the firefighter in charge of the rescue.

Rescuers have pulled five survivors from the debris, two of whom died in hospital.

A three-storey building collapsed, trapping hotel workers and guests in the restaurant on the first floor.

Rescue work is continuing.
