More than 100 feared dead in massive landslide in Papua New Guinea

Melbourne, Australia — More than 100 people are believed to have been killed Friday in a landslide that buried a village in a remote part of Papua New Guinea, the Australian Broadcasting Corp. reported.

The landslide reportedly hit Kaokalam village in Enga province, about 370 miles northwest of the South Pacific island nation's capital of Port Moresby, at roughly 3 a.m. local time, ABC reported.

Residents say current estimates of the death toll are above 100, although authorities haven't confirmed that figure. Villagers said the number of people killed could be much higher.
