A landslide at a construction site in southwest China’s Guizhou province has killed at least 14 people, state media reported.
Workers were reinforcing a hillside when the landslide happened on Monday evening, the official Xinhua news agency reported.
Rescuers have found 14 bodies, as well as three injured people, with the cause of the accident “still under investigation”.
The report said that rescue work had been “completed”, with the three injured currently in stable condition.
Photos published by state media showed rescue crews working overnight under floodlights, with masses of debris and crushed machinery visible.
