Six people died in a landslide early on Thursday in north China's Shanxi Province, state media reported.

The slide occurred at about 8:00am (0000 GMT) at a farm in Zaolin Village, Liulin County, burying the six people, Xinhua news agency said, quoting the county government.

Rescuers pulled the victims from the rubble and sent them to hospital, but all died despite doctors' efforts, the report late Thursday said giving no further details.

Local government authorities were investigating the cause of the incident, it added.

An industrial landslide on August 1, also in Shanxi province, killed 44, Xinhua said earlier this week.
