At least 11 people were confirmed dead and 26 others are still missing after multiple mudslides hit Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture in southwest China's Sichuan Province, local authorities said on Thursday.
The mudslides were caused by a severe downpour in the area that started on Monday night.
