Landslide leaves up to a dozen missing on Ischia

Heavy rainfall triggered landslides early Saturday on the southern Italian island of Ischia that left as many as 12 people missing as it cut a muddy swath through a port town, collapsing buildings and sweeping cars into the sea.

Italy's interior minister said no deaths were confirmed. Streets were impassable and mayors on the island urged people to stay at home. At least 100 people were reported stranded. The news agency ANSA reported that at least 10 buildings had collapsed. Firefighters and the Coast Guard were working on rescue efforts.
