The number of confirmed deaths from a landslide that struck the southwestern Chinese city of Chongqing last week has climbed to 11, with 50 people still missing and 10 others injured, according to Chinese state media reporting on Thursday.
State-run Xinhua news agency reported that specialized recovery teams remain on the ground searching for those who have not yet been found. The death toll had previously been confirmed at eight following the mountainside collapse, which occurred on July 17.
