Landslide at Myanmar jade mine leaves at least one dead and dozens missing

Myanmar rescuers scoured a lake for dozens of people missing after a landslide near a jade mine killed at least one person on Wednesday, authorities told AFP.

The disaster struck at a mine in the country's northern Hpakant township close to the Chinese border, where billions of dollars of the precious mineral are believed to be scraped from bare hillsides each year.
