Dozens of people are feared missing after a landslide early on Wednesday at a jade mine in northern Myanmar, according to local media.

Rescue operations are currently underway, with most of the victims believed to be illegal jade miners. The landslide occurred in the Hpakant area of Kachin state at around 04:00 local time on Wednesday.
