The death toll from last week's landslide in the southwestern Chinese city of Chongqing has risen to 11, while 50 people remain missing and 10 others were injured, according to Chinese authorities and state media.
The landslide struck Pengshui County on the morning of July 17 after torrential rain triggered the collapse of part of a mountainside.
Rock and debris crashed onto a cluster of riverside residential buildings and businesses, causing widespread destruction.
Authorities said specialized teams remain at the site as recovery operations continue under difficult conditions.
Search operations have continued for several days, with teams recovering three additional bodies since the initial response, raising the confirmed death toll from eight to 11.
According to state-run Xinhua news agency, "After multiple rounds of life detection and search, no signs of life remain."
Officials said the operation has now entered an in-depth rescue stage, with specialized teams working to recover the remains of those still unaccounted for.
Rescue crews have deployed heavy machinery and drones, while explosives have been used to break apart large boulders obstructing access to the affected area.
Authorities described the rescue effort as exceptionally challenging because of the massive volume of collapsed material, the large number of fallen rocks, the narrow operating space, and unstable slopes.
The landslide buried more than 10 residential buildings, leaving dozens of people trapped beneath debris.
Officials said the search remains ongoing despite the absence of recent signs of life detected during repeated rescue efforts.
Pengshui County is located in the southeastern part of Chongqing, roughly 270 kilometers from the city's downtown area, and borders the provinces of Hubei and Guizhou.
Authorities have not announced when recovery operations are expected to conclude as teams continue working in hazardous conditions at the site.
