Dramatic video released by Chinese state media shows the moment a landslide crashed into wooden houses in a village in central Hunan Province.

CCTV said the landslide, caused by heavy rain, crashed into all 14 houses at the bottom of the mountain.

No one was injured as all residents were evacuated before the incident, CCTV reported.

Rain that started again on Monday (July 18) is slowing down recovery efforts, CCTV added.
