Eleven bodies have so far been pulled from the remains of the barracks in the
central province of Quang Tri. One official says he heard landslides "exploding
like bombs" in the night. Heavy rainfall has hit much of Vietnam in the past
week. Floods and landslides have killed at least 70 people. There are fears

The government said a unit of Vietnam's 4th Military Region was hit by the

"From 2am, there have been four to five landslides, exploding like bombs and it
feels like the whole mountain is about to collapse," local official Ha Ngoc Duong
was quoted by the VnExpress news site as saying.
