Rescue teams working at the scene pulled three people from the rubble, recovering them from the debris left by the landslip. The three survivors were extracted amid ongoing operations to account for those still missing.
Local authorities flagged the broader risk to communities in the area, warning that flooding and related hazards could continue while conditions remain unstable. The alert underscores the immediate danger posed by saturated ground after an extended period of rain.
The confirmed fatality marks the human cost of the event as emergency services try to stabilise the affected site and respond to any further threats. The number of missing, 11 people, remains the central concern for rescuers and officials coordinating the response.
The mudslide and the official warnings come after days of unusually heavy precipitation in the region, which contributed directly to the slope failure. Authorities emphasised the connection between the prolonged rainfall and the increased likelihood of landslides and floods in vulnerable areas.
For now the priority is search and recovery at the collapse site, and monitoring of weather and ground conditions that could produce additional incidents. The combination of a confirmed death, multiple people unaccounted for, and authorities' flood warnings makes the situation in Jiangxi a continuing emergency for local responders and residents.
