A significant landslide occurred in the Gruben area of Rana, Nordland, prompting some residents to evacuate themselves.

Fortunately, no injuries or damage to buildings have been reported.

The landslide, described as approximately 50 meters wide, was likely caused by continuous rainfall over the past two and a half months, saturating the ground.

Emergency services, including police, fire department, and municipal officials, are on-site assessing the situation.

Although initial concerns led to self-evacuations, authorities have since determined that formal evacuation is unnecessary.

A geotechnical expert is evaluating the stability of the area, especially concerning homes built on rock.

A yellow alert for landslides and flooding remains in effect, with more rain expected overnight.
