A landslide in South Korea kills at least one person after heavy rainfall sweeps southern areas, according to reports. The slide hits a residential apartment building, burying the first floor and prompting emergency response.
Rescue workers pull residents from the building in Geoje, South Gyeongsang province. Channel NewsAsia reports three residents are rescued, and one later dies after being pronounced dead at a hospital. Free Malaysia Today reports that the landslide occurs in a residential apartment building and notes that some areas record extremely heavy rainfall, reaching up to about 800mm.
Both outlets link the incident to intense rainfall and describe the landslide’s impact on an apartment building. The accounts differ slightly on the number of residents initially pulled out and the later confirmation of death, but they agree on the location and the role of severe weather.
