Sixteen bodies have been recovered following a rain-triggered mudslide that occurred in southwest China's Sichuan province on June 28, an official from the local rescue command center said Wednesday. As of 6 p.m. Tuesday, rescuers had pulled 14 bodies from the Jinsha River, a major river located upstream of the Yangtze River, as well as discovered another two bodies earlier in the mudslide-hit region, Xinhua quoted the official as saying. The search along the river is continuing. Twenty-four people remain missing following the disaster.
