A rescue operation is underway on the Italian island of Ischia after multiple buildings were engulfed in a landslide caused by heavy rain.
The island, in the Bay of Naples, has also been beset by flooding, with at least 12 people said to be missing. Two people were rescued from a car after it was dragged into the sea, the fire service said.
Italy’s infrastructure minister Matteo Salvini said that eight people had been killed in the landslide during a speech in Milan on Saturday. However, interior minister Matteo Piantedosi later contradicted this by saying that there had been no confirmed deaths.
