Lao and Vietnamese authorities have suspended their search for six people missing after a landslide in Huaphan province and whose bodies are presumed to be on the Vietnamese side of a river.
The landslide occurred in Hindam village, Viengxay district, on August 3, destroying two houses, with seven people reported missing. Viengxay district Governor Mr Phonsouk Inthavong told Vientiane Times on Thursday “The search operation on the Vietnamese side of the river is on hold for a few days while a storm system passes over Thanh Hoa province.”
