Heavy rains from Tropical Cyclone Maila caused a deadly landslide in the mountains of East New Britain. The event was triggered by extreme weather conditions. Tons of mud and rock have been scattered across the roadside following a landslide. Thousands of cubic meters of broken rock, mud, and trees have lined a 100-meter section of road. Transport agency incident controller Candry Ludickey stated that ongoing road closures are likely due to continued hillside movement. Specialists and geotechs are working to assess the risk and manage access. The landslide occurred specifically in the mountains of the province.
