A farm in Verdal, Norway, was evacuated following a significant landslide on Sunday afternoon.
The landslide, measuring approximately 100 by 100 meters, occurred near Vistvikvegen and Leksdalsvatnet, prompting police to evacuate two residents from a nearby house.
Geotechnical experts are currently assessing the risk of further landslides, as water continues to flow from the landslide area, posing additional threats.
Two roads, Vistvikvegen and Moholtvegen, have been closed to ensure safety.
Local authorities are monitoring the situation closely, although no further evacuations are deemed necessary at this time.
The landslide's cause is under investigation, with recent excavation work in the area being considered as a potential factor.
