At least four people have died and eight others remain missing after record-breaking rainfall triggered severe flooding in Nanning, the capital of south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.
Authorities said all fatalities and missing persons were reported in Hengzhou, a county-level city under Nanning, where rescue teams continue search and relief operations.
Officials said rainfall in parts of the region reached record levels within a 24-hour period, prompting emergency flood prevention and disaster relief measures.
According to local authorities, more than 60,000 people have been evacuated from affected areas as floodwaters inundated communities and damaged infrastructure.
Chinese authorities have deployed emergency response teams to assist with rescue efforts, while weather officials warned that further heavy rainfall could increase the risk of flooding and other secondary disasters in the region. (ILKHA)
