MOSCOW (Sputnik) – On Friday, the flow of rocks and mud buried the area, where jade and fold were mined, in the country's state of Kachin.
The BBC reported, citing local officials that dozens of miners went missing.
On November 21, another landslide killed 115 people in a jade mine in the same area of Myanmar.
