Ten Chinese workers die in Myanmar landslide
Ten workers from China have died in a landslide on the Myanmar side of the countries' border and a further five are still missing, state media reported yesterday.
Another six Chinese workers were injured in the landslide that also buried a digger and ten vehicles on Myanmese territory bordering the southwestern province of Yunnan, according to a report on the Yunnan News website.
Chinese rescue workers have crossed the border to the site of the accident to search for the missing but rain is hampering relief efforts, the report said.
The Chinese nationals were working in a mining area, it added.
