Chau Trung Kien, deputy chief of office of Na Hang District People's Committee said the accident occurred at 3 am on August 24. Three children born in 2011, 2012 and 2015 were siblings.

"Rescue teams were informed about the accident at 5am but due to heavy rains and slippery roads, they arrived at the scene at 6am and found the bodies of the children," he said.

According to Kien, the landslide was caused by continuous rains over recent days. The landslides buried the children's rooms. Their parents survived the accident.

The authorities of Na Hang gave the family VND18m (USD785), Khau Tinh communal authorities supported VND3m to help them hold funerals for the children. Several charity organisations expressed condolences to the family.
