BEIJING — Fresh landslides rocked another area of China today, sweeping through a mountain town in the southwest of the country after days of heavy rains and leaving at least 67 people missing and cutting off access to the area.

Roads, power and telecommunications were severed when the mud tore through Puladi township in Yunnan province, the official Xinhua News Agency said. Rescue workers were sent to the township, which is in the mountains bordering Myanmar.

Xinhua said 25 people were hurt in the landslide, nine seriously. Xinhua said the mudslides were spread about 300 yards across and at least 10 trucks and 21 houses were buried.

Mudslides and floods have killed at least 1,500 people around China during the last several months.

The provincial civil affairs office sent tents and clothing to the area, but it is not known when the aid and rescue workers will get there.

Xinhua said the mudslides tore away a bridge on the Nujiang river, which saw its water level surge by 19 feet.

China regularly suffers devastating summer floods, but this year has been the worst in a decade, with cities washed away in the northeast and northwest of the country. The storms have caused tens of billions of dollars in damage.

The worst recent landslides have been in Zhouqu, Gansu province, where at least 1,287 people were killed Aug. 8.
