KUNMING, July 10  -- A rain-triggered landslide has killed four people in southwest China's Yunnan Province as heavy rain continues to leave casualties and people missing in the area.

The landslide buried a family of four in a village in Tengchong County of the city of Baoshan at about 5 a.m. on Thursday, and they were later found dead, the county government said.

In a separate disaster, a woman and her one-month-old child from a village in Shangri-La County in Diqing Prefecture went missing at about 2 a.m. when being evacuated in a flash flood.

The flood inundated dozens of homes in two villages along a river, according to the Shangri-La government.

On Wednesday, six people died and 25 went missing when mudslides hit two villages in Yunnan, which is prone to mudslides on rainy days as more than 90 percent of the province is mountainous.

Of the 25, rescuers are still striving to reach the 17 people missing after a landslide struck a silicon mine in Shawa Village, Fugong County.

Rescuers said they may have been swept into the Nujiang River, which is about 500 meters from the site.

Li Hongwen, Party secretary of the county, said rescuers have been sent to scour the river.
