Jade mine landslide kills at least 160 in Myanmar, with more people still missing
Yangon, Myanmar (CNN) — At least 162 people have died and others are feared trapped after a landslide at a jade mine in northern Myanmars Kachin State, according to officials.
The landslide was triggered by heavy rain and swept through the site in the jade-rich area of Hpakant on Thursday morning.
Myanmar Fire Department said 162 bodies had been recovered as of 7:15 p.m. Thursday local time and another 54 people have been taken to hospital. Local lawmaker Khin Maung Myint warned that the death toll is expected to rise, but heavy rain had forced rescue efforts to be called off.
Images from the Facebook page of Myanmars fire service showed a rescue team pulling bodies out of the mud and carrying them up a steep rock face that appears to be flooding.
