http://www.euronews.net/ At least 25 people have been killed and dozens more injured by a landslide on a southern Philippine island. It is the second such incident in Pantukan town almost nine months.

Goverment officials said there had been cracks in the mountains caused by the earlier landslide and rain over the past week may have loosened soil.

Last month, Typhoon Washi and flash floods claimed more than 1,200 lives on Mindanao island.
