Eighteen students in class were killed in a landslide on October 4 in southwest China's Yunnan Province, local authorities said.

The landslide, estimated to be around 160,000 cubic meters in size, also injured a villager and left one person missing in Zhenhe Village, Yilian County.

The government has relocated more than 800 affected residents to safer places.

On September 7, multiple earthquakes struck Yiliang and its neighboring areas in Yunnan and Guizhou provinces, killing 81 people and injuring 800 others.
