BEIJING, Ramadan 26, 1437, July 01, 2016, SPA -- Ten people were killed in a mudslide and 12 others remained buried under debris Friday in a mountainous region in China's southwest, AP quoted official Xinhua News Agency as saying. The mudslide buried 29 people in a village in Guizhou province early Friday. By late afternoon, rescuers recovered 10 bodies and pulled out seven villagers alive, Xinhua said. Heavy rains have drenched the mountainous region, increasing the danger of mudslides. Elsewhere in southern and eastern China, torrential rainfall in June left at least 47 people dead or missing, according to China's Ministry of Civil Affairs. A freak tornado killed 98 people in the eastern Chinese city of Yancheng on June 23. --SPA 15:59 LOCAL TIME 12:59 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
