A rescue operation recovers several dead after a landslide at an unregulated jade mine in a remote part of Myanmar. The death toll has hit at least 31, with eight people still missing, rescuers said Wednesday. The disaster struck on Sunday outside northern Kachin's Hpakant township, after torrential rain and floods ravaged the region over the weekend.
