In China, at least 15 people were killed and 54 others reported missing following floods and landslides triggered by torrential rains in the northwestern Shaanxi Province. Officials at the flood control headquarters said more than 1.33 million people have been affected due to heavy flooding in 23 counties and cities in the southern regions of the province. They said torrential rains have cut off roads, flattened homes, destroyed power facilities and flooded farmland in the worst-hit Ankang City. Continuous rainfall has battered many Chinese provinces and regions over the past week.
