The sound was caused by a previous landslide in Lang Nu that created large slopes, so the rocks and soil above still have a natural tendency to slide down.

Regarding the sudden loud explosion coming from the old landslide site in Lang Nu, Phuc Khanh commune, Bao Yen district (Lao Cai), on the morning of November 30, Mr. Tran Trong Thong, Chairman of the District People's Committee, said that this was just a normal landslide.

According to Mr. Thong, immediately after receiving the information on the morning of November 29, the district sent local military forces - playing a core role in natural disaster prevention and search and rescue - to the scene to survey and assess.

Accordingly, the sound is caused by previous landslides that created large slopes, so the rocks and soil above still tend to slide down naturally, and when encountering obstacles, they continue to get stuck.

However, this landslide did not affect the central area where people live because the distance is still very far, in addition, right below there is a very wide platform that supports the entire area, so the soil and rocks cannot continue to slide down.

The forces continue to monitor and grasp the situation to take measures to ensure people's safety when necessary.

Earlier, on the morning of September 10, on the top of Voi Mountain, nearly 4 km from the center of Lang Nu village, a terrible landslide occurred, leaving nearly 70 people dead and missing. People who witnessed the landslide at that time also felt a loud sound like an explosion.
