Landslides triggered by heavy rain damaged hundreds of houses in northeast India yesterday and killed at least 12 people, including four children, officials said. They said police and rescue workers were looking for more bodies as 10 people were still missing and believed to be buried in Mokokchong town in Nagaland, about 160km north of state capital Kohima. "The landslides happened early in the morning after heavy rains last night. People were sleeping when it occurred," a senior police officer in Kohima told Reuters by phone. He said 17 people were seriously injured.
