At least 20 people have been killed in north-eastern Peru after heavy rains sparked a mudslide that engulfed a small village, officials have said.
The mudslide struck the village in the Huanuco region. At least another 25 people are reportedly missing, the BBC reported.
At least 120 homes had been damaged or destroyed, the officials added.
Civil defence chief Hipolito Cruchaga said emergency teams were at the scene, and that aid was being provided to those who had been made homeless.
The deadly mudslide was the second in as many days in Peru. On Thursday, five people were killed in the town of Cancejos.
