The landslide occurred in the early morning of August 10, in Ta Xua hamlet, Ta Xua commune, with about 50,000cu.m of rock and soil falling down to Provincial Road 112, burying a restaurant and homestay, killing one person and injuring three others. Currently, Bac Yen district is mobilising vehicles, excavators, and levelers to clear the route.

A representative of the Bac Yen district People's Committee reported that at the landslide location, three more cracks, about 300m long, were discovered, forming a slide arc that potentially causes landslides. The committee requested relevant forces to evacuate 12 households in Ta Xua  hamlet located in the dangerous area to a safe place.

The district People's Committee proposed the provincial People's Committee and departments review and assess the level of landslide risk, notify to limit tourists to Ta Xua at this time, and consider arrangement of resettlement sites for affected households in Ta Xua hamlet.

Vice Chairman Cong requested the People's Committee of Bac Yen district to mobilise vehicles and human resources to level soil so as to quickly reopen Provincial Road 112; search for and arrange resettlement sites for people in areas at risk of landslides to ensure safety and sustainability for them to stabilise their lives.

For the 300m long crack at the landslide site, he asked the Department of Natural Resources and Environment to measure the water saturation in the soil and estimate the volume of soil and rock at risk of sliding for response plans.
