At least one person is missing and two others injured after being buried by a landslide in south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region on Tuesday, caused by heavy rain that has hit the region since Monday evening.

Rescuers are still searching for the missing person near a port in Fangchenggang City, Guangxi, which has received 117 millimeters of rain since 10:00 PM Monday, said sources from the city government.

The meteorological station in Guangxi issued a red alert on Tuesday due to the continuing severity of the rain storm.

It said 11 townships in Guangxi have received more than 300 millimeters of rain, with several suffering from flooding. The rain is forecast to last until Wednesday.
