A landslide Wednesday buried nine people in northwest China's Qinghai Province, local authorities said.
Rescuers have pulled out three people, with one showing no vital signs of life. Rescue for the other six are still underway.
The landslide occurred at around 4:30 a.m. in a village of Guoluo Tibetan autonomous prefecture of Qinghai.
More than 600 rescue workers are at the site. They have evacuated around 90 people from 17 farming households and about 1,200 cattle.
The landslide has also blocked a national highway and a river.
