Five people, including four members of the same family, are dead and four others are missing after a landslide buried two houses in a town in mid-western Nepal.
A 25-year-old woman and her three children, all girls aged between three and 10, died when a landslide triggered by monsoon rains crushed their home in Jajarkot district, police inspector Indrajit Sunar said.
Police rescued the woman's 28-year-old husband, who is being treated in a local hospital.
The family had rented rooms in a traditional house in Khalanga, the district's main town, according to Sunar.
"Their landlord's eight-year-old daughter was also killed."
Four children aged between 10 and 12 had gone missing in their neighbour's house, he added.
