29 people remain missing after a landslide in southwest China's Sichuan Province on Saturday, according to a press conference held early Sunday morning.

The number of the missing people is still being verified.

Due to continuous rainfall and geological conditions, the landslide has transformed into debris flows that resulted in an accumulation of debris stretching approximately 1.2 kilometers, with a total volume of over 100,000 cubic meters, according to a preliminary assessment.

As of now, the landslide is still ongoing.

The landslide occurred at about 11:50 a.m. in Jinping Village, Junlian County in the city of Yibin.
