Two security guards in India ran for their lives after a landslide engulfed their outpost.

CCTV footage captured at the Bhakra dam in Bilaspur, Himchal Pradesh, shows the two guards making a dramatic escape from their hut before rocks and debris come crashing down moments later.

Aftermath footage shows the wrecked outpost and mounds of large rocks littering the hillside after the incident.

Heavy rains in the north of India have caused flooding and landslides.

Eight people are believed to have died, with hundreds of roads being closed due to rain or landslides.

The footage was captured on 24 September.
