The landslide is believed to have struck the area around 3am today.

It is not yet clear if emergency services have been able to reach the village.

Elizabeth Laruma, who runs a women's business association in Porgera, a town in the same province near the Porgera Gold Mine, said village houses were flattened when the side of a mountain gave way.

The landslide blocked the road between Porgera and the village, she said, raising concerns about the town's own supply of fuel and goods.

With 10 million people, Papua New Guinea is the most populous South Pacific nation after Australia.

"Facing external challenges and threats, we will continue to maintain the values of freedom and democracy," Taiwan's new President Lai Ching-te told sailors and top security officials as he visited a marine base in Taoyuan, just south of the capital, Taipei.

In his inauguration speech on Monday, Lai had called on Beijing to stop its military intimidation and said Taiwan was "a sovereign independent nation in which sovereignty lies in the hands of the people".

China's military said its two-day exercises around Taiwan were punishment for separatist forces seeking independence.

It sends navy ships and warplanes into the Taiwan Strait and other areas around the island almost daily to wear down Taiwan's defences and seek to intimidate its people, who firmly back their de facto independence.

"As soon as the leader of Taiwan took office, he challenged the one-China principle and blatantly sold the 'two-state theory'," China's Taiwan Affairs Office spokesman Chen Binhua said in a statement on Thursday night.

The one-China principle asserts that there is only one China and that Taiwan is part of China under Communist Party rule.

Beijing views Taiwan as a renegade province and has been upping its threats to annex it by force if necessary.
