A large landslide has occurred at the new Komo airfield in Papua New Guinea's Hela province.
An estimated 5,000 to 7,000 cubic metres of earth material slipped from an area of the airfield under construction earlier this month.
No injuries have been reported.
The airfield, which is nearing completion, is one of the major infrastructure developments linked to Exxon Mobil's large Liquefied Natural Gas project in PNG.
The area, in the resource-rich Highlands region, experiences a large amount of rainfall around this time of year.
The landslide occurred near the site of a massive landslide in Tumbi that buried a village and killed at least 25 people in January last year.
The Tumbi landslide was linked by some local communities in Hela to a nearby quarry used for the LNG Project although Exxon and its project partners deny that the quarry operations caused the landslide.
