A landslide buried 10 houses in Purtingkada village, located about 200 miles (320 kilometers) west of the capital, Katmandu, said local police. Villagers recovered three bodies and dug out five people alive, they said. They were searching for 10 others who were missing and believed to be buried in the rubble. Separately, three people were killed and five others were injured in a landslide in Nuwakot Thanksingh village, located 50 miles (80 kilometers) north of Katmandu.
