Two people died Sunday afternoon in a landslide triggered by heavy rain on Japan’s remote Rebun Island off the coast of Hokkaido, municipal officials said.
The two residents of the town of Rebun showed no signs of life when they were pulled from rubble of a home destroyed by the landslide, the officials said, adding that landslides have also occurred in other parts of the town, with residents evacuating to an elementary school and other shelters.
183 millimeters of rain fell in the town, the most since record-keeping began in 2003, according to the Sapporo branch of the Japan Meteorological Agency.
