- Rescuers search for 5 missing people after a deadly landslide in India’s Kerala state
Rescuers in Kerala, India, are searching for five missing people after a landslide triggered by heavy monsoon rains killed three workers and injured seven at a tunnel construction site. Officials claim the disaster was man-made due to improper earth disposal, while the construction company denied responsibility, citing the landslide's origin above the site. Investigations are ongoing, and experts link intensified monsoons to human-caused climate change.
