BEIJING — More than 120 people were missing and feared buried after a landslide caused by torrential rain destroyed a mountain village in a southwest China’s Sichuan province, state media reported Saturday. The landslide hit the village of Xinmo in Maoxian county before 6 a.m. Saturday, and 62 houses were buried, according to the Sichuan provincial government, state media news reported. So far, only three survivors – a couple and their 1-month-old baby – have been rescued from the village and taken to the local hospital. “When I got to Xinmo village around 6 a.m., there was only one house in the entire village that was still visible,” Li Yuanjun, a local official, told the Sichuan Daily newspaper.
