70-100 people missing in Myanmar Landslide...

According to the AFP news agency, at least 70 people are missing after a landslide at a Myanmar jade mine. According to the report, "about 70-100 individuals are missing in a landslide that occurred at 4:00 a.m." at Hpakant mine in Kachin state according to rescue team member Ko Nyi.

"We've taken 25 individuals to the hospital and found one person deceased." Around 200 rescuers were looking for bodies, with some using boats to look for the deceased in a nearby lake, he said.

Heavy rains created a major landslide in Hpakant, Myanmar's jade trading capital in northern Kachin state, last year, burying around 300 miners.

According to a report released earlier this year by the organization Global Witness, a February military coup effectively ended any prospect of reforming the risky and unregulated industry launched by ousted leader Aung San Suu Kyi's government.
