China Launches Emergency Response After Deadly Floods

Beijing:  At least 10 people were killed after heavy rains triggered severe flooding across southern and central China, Chinese authorities said today.

The China Meteorological Administration warned that several regions, including Jiangxi, Anhui, Hunan, Hubei, Guizhou, Guangxi, Guangdong and Hainan, are facing a high risk of rain-related disasters such as landslides, flash floods and urban flooding.

Authorities launched emergency response operations in a number of affected areas.

Chinese media reported that six people died after a truck carrying 15 passengers fell into a river in Guangxi amid heavy rainfall.

Three other people were killed in flash floods that struck a low-lying village in Hubei province, while another death was reported in Hunan province.
