Due to a persistent downpour, a section of road on Ta Pua Pass in Me Pu Commune, Duc Linh District, Binh Thuan Province experienced a severe landslide at dawn.
At the site, massive debris including soil and rocks fell and blocked the road.
Immediately after the incident, local authorities set up roadblocks and placed warning signs at the landslide-affected road. Many vehicles and personnel were sent to the scene to urgently clear the debris.
As of noon on the same day, vehicles still cannot pass through the pass. Local authorities have mobilized resources and resolved the blockage after the landslide.
