A huge wall of dust descended down a mountain in Maoxian County, Sichuan Province, following a landslide.

Footage from August 31 shows clouds of dust rolling down the landscape before engulfing several villagers' homes at the bottom of the mountain.

The Maoxian County Natural Resources Bureau reported that the landslide had a collapse volume of approximately 2,000 cubic meters, making it a significant geological disaster.

Fortunately, due to the prompt action of local government and related departments, residents in the surrounding area were quickly evacuated to safety, and no casualties were reported in the incident.

It was also noted that a day before the landslide, some villagers had noticed signs of instability in the mountain area and promptly reported it to the relevant authorities. This early warning allowed for the timely evacuation of residents, avoiding any loss of life.

8月31日，四川阿坝州茂县洼底镇沙湖寨村发生一起山体滑坡事件。
据目击者描述，山体滑坡前，先是有石头从山体上滚落，带起烟尘，这是滑坡发生的初步迹象。
随后，山体局部整体滑落，引发滚滚浓烟，现场尘土漫天，山峰一角坍塌，巨大的沙尘甚至掩盖了部分村民房屋。
茂县自然资源局发布消息称，此次滑坡的垮塌体积约2000立方米，属于较大规模的地质灾害。然而，幸运的是，由于当地政府和相关部门迅速行动，第一时间将周边群众紧急转移至安全地带避险，此次山体滑坡事件并未造成人员伤亡。
据了解，有村民在滑坡发生前一天就发现了该区域山体出现松动迹象，并及时向相关部门报告。这为及时疏散群众、避免人员伤亡提供了宝贵的时间。

On August 31, a landslide occurred in Shahu Zhai Village, Wadi Town, Maoxian County, Aba Prefecture, Sichuan.

According to eyewitnesses, before the landslide, stones began to roll down the mountain, raising dust — an initial sign of the landslide. Soon after, a section of the mountain slid down entirely, triggering a thick cloud of dust, filling the air with debris, and causing one corner of the mountain peak to collapse. The massive dust cloud even covered some villagers' homes.

The Maoxian County Natural Resources Bureau reported that the landslide had a collapse volume of approximately 2,000 cubic meters, making it a significant geological disaster. Fortunately, due to the prompt action of local government and related departments, residents in the surrounding area were quickly evacuated to safety, and no casualties were reported in the incident.

It was also noted that a day before the landslide, some villagers had noticed signs of instability in the mountain area and promptly reported it to the relevant authorities. This early warning allowed for the timely evacuation of residents, avoiding any loss of life.
