Beijing, Sha'ban 2, 1437, May 9, 2016, SPA -- Eight bodies have been found and 33 people were still missing after a landslide hit Taining County in south-eastern China's Fujian Province, according to dpa. About 100,000 cubic metres of mud and rock flowed downhill in Taining county early Sunday, burying parts of a hydropower station construction site and its offices, Xinhua news agency reported Monday. Rainstorms have battered much of eastern and southern China in recent days. Thousands of people were evacuated in south-western Chongqing municipality and central Hubei province over the weekend. China is bracing for a major flood year, according to Xinhua. --SPA 11:14 LOCAL TIME 08:14 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
