An additional person was rescued at the site of a landslide in Gokseong, Jeollanam-do, but died.

On the 8th, according to Gokseong-gun, Jeollanam-do and the Jeonnam Fire Department, he rescued his aunt (73, female) from a pile of dirt at 8:15 am on the same day and moved to the hospital, but he died.

At 8:29 pm on the 7th, the soil collapsed in the mountain behind the village of Osan-myeon, Gokseong-gun, and 5 houses were buried.

Three of them were completely covered in earth and sand, and firefighters here rescued Mo Kim (71, female), Mo Yoon (53, male) and aunt (60 female), but died.

Earth and sand flooded into two separate houses to rescue them, but the work was stopped due to heavy rain and the risk of additional landslides and resumed activities at dawn.

Lee, who was rescued that day, was found in a separate house, and the disaster prevention authorities determined that one more person lived in Lee's house and are working on additional rescue work.

The disaster prevention authorities mobilize heavy equipment, including three forklifts, and more than 50 manpower to dig and search the soil.
