Claim 2: “Overnight precipitation caused a hillside to collapse onto several houses.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The provided evidence for this specific claim consists of unrelated landslides in Guinea, California, and a camp in Ukhiya. None of the provided search results confirm that the Mumbai landslide specifically involved overnight precipitation causing a hillside to collapse onto several houses, although India Today mentions a collapse onto 'six to seven shanties'. However, the specific phrasing 'overnight precipitation' is not explicitly corroborated across the provided evidence set for the Mumbai event.
