{{At least 32 people have died and dozens remain missing after a landslide swept through a village in the mountains of southern China, local government and state media have said.}}<\/p>\n
The landslide smothered 16 homes on Friday morning in Zhaojiagou village, and hours later more than 40 people were missing, said a notice posted on the website of Zhenxiong county in Yunnan province, where the village is located.<\/p>\n
Rescuers recovered 32 bodies, among them a family of seven, said a report on the website of the Yunnan Daily, the official newspaper of the provincial government.<\/p>\n
Photographs posted on the news site showed rescue crews in orange jumpsuits using construction machinery to sift through massive piles of mud and earth.<\/p>\n
Behind them stood hillsides and pine trees covered in snow, signs of the unusually cold winter that has hit all of China.<\/p>\n
Reports did not say what triggered the landslide, but such events do occur periodically in the region, which is prone to earthquakes and heavy rains.<\/p>\n
In a nearby county, 81 people died after an earthquake in September.<\/p>\n
A month later, a landslide buried a primary school, leaving 18 students and one other person dead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
