Severe floods and landslide hit northern Italy, causing casualties and evacuations

Exceptionally heavy rainfall triggered severe flooding and a deadly landslide in Italy’s Friuli Venezia Giulia region, causing two fatalities and widespread damage.

The mudslide struck Brazzano di Cormons overnight, killing an 83-year-old woman and 32-year-old Quirin Kuhnert, who died while trying to rescue her.

Firefighters worked nonstop, pulling another survivor from the rubble and evacuating residents from flooded homes.

Large areas remained submerged or buried under debris as rescue efforts continued.
