Rescue teams in China search for missing people after storms associated with Typhoon Maysak cause severe flooding across parts of the country. Multiple outlets report that the typhoon leaves 17 people dead and triggers widespread damage, including overflowing rivers and at least one reservoir incident. Officials warn that heavy rain is expected to continue into Wednesday, raising concerns about further flooding.
In the southern region of Guangxi, authorities order evacuations of at least 100,000 residents, with one report citing at least 130,000 people evacuated. Torrential rainfall and flooding cause rivers and waterways to burst their banks, with fast-moving muddy water reported in multiple areas. In addition to impacts on settlements and infrastructure, state media cited agricultural damage, including significant losses to farmland. Another report adds that a reservoir dam bursts, contributing to downstream flooding.
As rain persists, rescuers continue operating in flooded areas, focusing on finding survivors and accounting for missing residents.
