CHENGDU, China: Twenty-nine people remain missing after a landslide in southwest China's Sichuan Province on Saturday, according to a press conference held early Sunday morning, Xinhua News Agency reported.

The landslide occurred at 11.50am local time in Jinping Village, which is located in Junlian County in the city of Yibin.

The number of people missing is still being verified. As of midnight Saturday, the landslide had buried 10 residential houses and a production building. Two people, one seriously and one slightly wounded, have been rescued and are receiving treatment at a hospital in Junlian.

Due to continuous rainfall and geological conditions, the high-position landslide has transformed into debris flows, which, according to a preliminary assessment, have resulted in an accumulation of debris stretching approximately 1.2 kilometres and having a total volume of over 100,000 cubic meters.
