Triggered Friday morning in Pengshui County, the collapse sent tons of rock tumbling down a karst hillside near the Wujiang River. Rescuers pulled ten survivors — two in critical condition — as officials scramble to understand the cause. President Xi Jinping has ordered a full investigation. With unstable rock still looming and weather risks, authorities cut off utilities in a wide zone. Over 800 responders, using drones and heavy machinery, race against time amid constant danger of further slides. Residents reported hearing rumbling and seeing falling rocks before the disaster, some even evacuating as it struck. Emergency supplies are being rushed in as the region braces for more instability.
