On the afternoon of November 29, information from the leader of the People's Committee of Bao Yen district, Lao Cai province said that the military force had entered the scene to check the incident that was said to be an explosion accompanied by dust flying up at the top of Lang Nu mountain, Phuc Khanh commune, the same morning.
The test results showed that the location where the loud noise came from was the area where the landslide had occurred before. Today, part of the rock and soil slid down, creating the noise.
"The soldiers went to the scene to check and determined that the previous landslide still had some soil and rocks above it, most likely due to dryness, causing the landslide to slide downwards. The incident did not affect property or people," said the leader of Bao Yen District People's Committee.
Previously, informing Lao Dong Newspaper reporters, Lang Nu Village Chief Hoang Van Diep said that at around 9am on November 29, some people were picking corn near the landslide area when they heard a loud explosion, and smoke and dust billowed up, covering the surrounding trees.
