Gansu floods and landslides kill 25 as heavy rain continues
Flooding and landslides in China’s Gansu province killed 25 people and injured 23 after torrential rain hit Weiyuan county and the wider Dingxi area, state media reported. Authorities warned of further landslide risk as heavy rain continued. Separate flood-season operations in Sichuan involved large-scale evacuations and temporary relocations. The Gansu toll was attributed to Xinhua and local authorities and could change as rescue and damage assessments continued.
