Adjust font size:

Five people were killed and another two were seriously injured when a kiln under construction collapsed on Wednesday in northwest China's Shaanxi Province, the local government confirmed Friday.

The seven workers were excavating the kiln when two consecutive landslides buried them at 5:00 PM in Yaosheng village, Yijun County in the city of Tongchuan, said officials with the county's publicity department.

All-out rescue efforts saved only two of them. An investigation is going on, and the city and county governments have ordered an immediate safety overhaul of the local industries.
