At least one person has died and 11 others are still missing after a mudslide struck a village in Jiangxi province in eastern China early Saturday, according to state news agency Xinhua.

The incident occurred in Ji’an city following several days of heavy rainfall linked to Typhoon Saudel. China’s flood control and drought relief authorities were cited as the source of the information.

Rescue teams recovered one person who was pronounced dead, while two others were found alive and reported to be in stable condition.
