The incident occurred suddenly during sunny weather with no rain. The collapse of the rice paddy soil formed a natural phenomenon known as a sinkhole.
Residents who witnessed the incident immediately reported it to village officials and the local police. The news quickly spread, prompting other residents to flock to the scene to witness the relatively rare phenomenon.
Initial measurements indicate the hole is approximately 5.7 meters deep and approximately seven meters in diameter. The ground remains unstable and is at risk of further subsidence.
Sinkhole phenomena can be triggered by various factors, including soil structure, subsurface cavities, and changes in groundwater levels. However, further studies are needed to determine the exact cause.
