STORYLINE:
At least one person died and several others went missing on the island of Ischia in southern Italy on Saturday, after heavy rains triggered a landslide that hit several residential buildings, according to authorities and local media.
"So far, we can confirm one victim," Italian news agency AGI cited Naples prefect Claudio Palomba as reporting.
The prefect said the victim was believed to be a woman who resided permanently on the island.
The landslide occurred at around 5 a.m. local time, yet, rough sea conditions were making it hard for emergency boats and helicopters to manage intervention.
Searching activities were ongoing, especially in Casamicciola Terme, one of the municipalities of Ischia. At least 10 buildings collapsed due to the landslide, according to local media.
