A landslide in southeast China on Sunday buried about 35 workers at the construction site of a hydropower project, according to local authorities. The Taining county official, who only gave his surname of Wei, said firefighters and police were attempting to reach the buried, who were working on a hydropower project. An official at the department said by phone that the cause of the landslide was still unclear, but that the area had seen rainfall in the past few days. An initial count suggested 35 people are missing, the report said. Heavy rain has affected much of southern China since Wednesday, triggering floods and landslides.
