At least 25 people are missing after a landslide at an unregulated jade mine in a remote region of Myanmar, rescue workers said Monday.

The incident on Sunday outside northern Kachin's Hpakant township near where hundreds of miners were entombed in a landslide in 2020 comes days after much of the country was swamped by torrential rain and floods.
