Rescuers have found two bodies and are rushing to find another seven buried following a rain-triggered landslide Tuesday in southwest China's Yunnan Province, local authorities said Thursday.

Nine people were buried as the disaster hit Xiaoxin Village in Dongchuan District of the provincial capital Kunming City at around 11 am Tuesday, said a spokesman with the city government.

The identities of the two deceased have yet to be confirmed and rescue operations for the others are under way.
