Mudslide in eastern China kills one, leaves 11 missing

A mudslide struck Gaoping Town in Suichuan County, Jiangxi Province, China, early on Saturday, killing one person and leaving 11 others missing, according to the Daily Times. The disaster was triggered by torrential rain linked to Typhoon Saudel. Local authorities confirmed the death and are conducting an ongoing search for those still missing.

The mudslide hit the town at around 4 a.m. on Saturday. The Daily Times report did not provide further details on the incident.

A separate mudslide on the Tibet-Nepal border, reported by Investing.com, resulted in a much higher number of casualties, with over 1,300 people killed and more than 5,600 missing on both sides. However, this incident appears to be unrelated to the one in Jiangxi Province.
