Five people lost their lives and three others were injured after a massive loess soil collapse buried a home in Haoyi village, located in Hongtong county within China’s northern Shanxi province, according to state-run Xinhua News Agency.<\/p>

The collapse happened at 6:49 p.m. on Friday, completely burying a residential structure under heavy soil. Local emergency management officials confirmed that all eight individuals who had been trapped were eventually located.<\/p>

Of those eight, five showed no signs of life at the scene. The remaining three survivors were transported to a nearby hospital, where they are reported to be in stable condition.<\/p>

In response to the disaster, local authorities mobilized more than 550 rescue workers, including police officers, firefighters, and medical personnel, to assist in the recovery effort.<\/p>

The operation also relied on more than 130 pieces of heavy equipment and specialized tools, such as loaders, cranes, drones, and life-detection devices, to search through the collapsed soil.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
