A mound of dirt and waste from other mines slid off a cliff and fell nearly 200 feet, striking many of the miners.
A landslide at a jade mine in Myanmar's northern state of Kachin has left one person confirmed dead and at least 70 missing as search and rescue efforts continue, officials said.
The landslide's death toll could come close to that in other accidents in recent years if more of the miners are found dead. Hpakant is a mountainous and remote area in Kachin state, 600 miles north of Myanmar's biggest city, Yangon. A cease-fire in the region has been disrupted since a February 1 coup ousted Aung San Suu Kyi and her elected government.
