On Sunday, a substantial landslide consisting of earth and rock occurred on County Road 5697, between Sandvika and Nyttingnes, resulting in the isolation of a village in Kinn, Norway. The landslide, reported to be around 40 to 50 meters wide, prompted immediate emergency responses, with rescue helicopters and ambulance boats deployed to the area. Initial concerns about whether any individuals were trapped by the landslide were addressed, as law enforcement officials reported no indications that persons or vehicles had been affected by the debris.

As the situation developed, police confirmed at 4:30 PM that there were no missing persons reported and traffic in the area was minimal, leading to the conclusion that the rescue operation could be safely suspended. The local authorities acknowledged the damage to parts of the road, and repair work is being initiated as a contractor mobilizes to the scene. A geologist is also expected to assess the area for any further risks and to inform the community of alternative plans as Kinn municipality communicates with isolated residents affected by the landslide.
