One person is dead and 11 are missing after a mudslide hit a village in Ji'an City, east China's Jiangxi Province, at around 4 a.m. on Saturday, local authorities said.

The disaster was triggered by days of torrential rain brought by Typhoon Saudel, according to Suichuan County's flood control headquarters.

Three people have been pulled from the debris – two are stable, while one has been confirmed dead. Search and rescue operations are still racing against time.

More than 220 rescue personnel and 41 vehicles are on site, with communications and reconnaissance drones scouring the area for the missing and monitoring for secondary disasters.
