The landslide occurred at 6:40 pm on the northern bank of the Daning River, a tributary of the Yangtze River, the Civil Affairs Bureau said.

The force of the landslide created a wave 6 meters high that caused a river patrol vessel and seven small fishing boats and five agricultural boats to capsize. Several unmanned berthed boats slipped their moorings.
