AIZAWL (Agency): Four persons, including three Myanmar refugees, were killed and one injured when their houses collapsed due to landslides triggered by heavy rain in Mizoram on Saturday, taking the toll in the current monsoon to five, officials said.
Three persons aged between 34 and 71 years from a Myanmar family died and another was injured when a massive landslide struck and buried their rented house at Vaphai village in east Mizoram’s Champhai district near the Myanmar border early Saturday, they said.
The family had been taking shelter in the village since 2021 following the military coup in the neighbouring country, they said.
