A woman was found dead and around 10 people were still missing on the southern Italian holiday island of Ischia after a landslide engulfed buildings during heavy rain on Saturday, a local Italian government official said.

Torrential rain hit the port of Casamicciola Terme, one of the six small towns on the island, in the early hours, triggering flooding and bringing down buildings.

Infrastructure Minister Matteo Salvini said earlier during an event in Milan that eight people had been killed. Images showed thick mud, debris and stones in Casamicciola Terme. Several cars were submerged on the shoreline, apparently pushed into the sea by the storm.“There are some difficulties in the rescue operations because the weather conditions are still challenging”, Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi told reporters in Rome.
