Two were killed, and over 30 have gone missing in a jade mine landslide in northern Myanmar's Kachin State on Sunday, local police said Monday.

The landslide took place at around 3:00 pm local time last Sunday in a jade mine near Ma Na Village in Hpakant township of Kachin State, a Hpakant township police officer told Xinhua.

"Two dead bodies were retrieved. The others remained missing. There are about eight people who sustained injuries," the police officer said.

Deadly landslides are frequent in Kachin state, especially in the Hpakant mining region.

A major fatal landslide occurred at a jade mining site in Hpakant township in July 2020, leaving 174 dead and 54 others injured.
