Landslides caused by torrential rains in southeast Brazil have left at least 10 people dead, rescue services in Minas Gerais state said Sunday. Nine people died in the city of Ipatinga, where 80 millimeters of rain fell in the space of one hour on Saturday night, the mayor's office said.

Firefighters pulled the body of an eight-year-old boy from the rubble of a house destroyed by a landslide.
