Landslide in SW China leaves one dead, three missing

A LANDSLIDE that happened on Friday in southwest China's Sichuan Province has left one dead and three others missing, rescuers said on Sunday.

The landslide blocked a section of Baimu River in Ya'an City. Rising water washed out a small hydropower station in Tianquan County, causing the dead and missing, while incurring power outage and disruption of wireless signals.

Local authorities on Saturday made an emergent work to open a channel for discharging the flooding water. On Sunday, the risk of the barrier lake has been basically removed.
