Six people died and another two were injured in a rain-triggered landslide in southwest China's Guizhou Province, local authorities said on Friday.
The landslide happened at around 4 a.m. on Thursday in Dakuo Village of Zhijin County in the city of Bijie, burying eight people, said a spokesman with the county.
By 10 a.m. on Thursday, the injured had been rescued. The bodies of the other six were later retrieved.

Rainstorms have lashed Guizhou this week, triggering landslides and floods in many parts of the province.
