Landslide kills more than 100 people in Papua New Guinea village

More than 100 people are believed to be dead following a landslide in a remote part of Papua New Guinea.

The landslide reportedly hit Kaokalam Village in Enga Province, about 600 kilometres (370 miles) northwest of the nation’s capital of Port Moresby, at roughly 3am local time.

Residents said the current estimates of the death toll are above 100, although authorities have not confirmed this figure. Villagers said the number of people killed could be much higher.
