Rescuers were searching for at least a dozen people early Saturday after heavy rains caused a landslide to engulf buildings on the southern Italian holiday island of Ischia.
Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi said no death has been confirmed, shooting down earlier remarks by Infrastructure Minister Matteo Salvini that eight people had been killed.
“At the moment there are no confirmed deaths, there are some difficulties in the rescue operations because the weather conditions are still challenging,” Piantedosi told reporters in Rome.
