Rescuers in China search flooded areas for missing people after storms linked to Typhoon Maysak cause widespread flooding across parts of the south. Multiple outlets report at least 17 deaths attributed to the weather system, with the toll rising as operations continue. In Guangxi, torrential rain and severe flooding prompt large-scale evacuations, with figures reported at about 100,000 to 130,000 people moved to safety. Officials warn that heavy rain continues into Wednesday, raising risks of further flooding in Guangxi and neighboring Guangdong.
Reports describe rivers and waterways overflowing, including fast-flowing muddy water that breaches riverbanks. Some areas see damage to agricultural land, and the flooding is also linked to infrastructure impacts, including a reservoir dam breach or burst reservoir wall. Rescuers work through floodwaters to locate survivors, while authorities focus on areas most affected by rising water levels. The number of missing people is not consistently specified across outlets, but multiple accounts emphasize ongoing searches.
