At least 35 people have been killed and 25 others missing in typhoons and rain that lashed China in the last a few days, officials said on Monday. Twenty-nine people were killed and 15 missing in China when the typhoon ‘Malakas’ and ‘Meranti’, the world’s strongest typhoon this year in China, struck five provincial-level Chinese regions, the Ministry of Civil Affairs said.
Triggering strong wind and downpours, the two typhoons have hit Shanghai Municipality and the Provinces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian and Jiangxi since September 14.
Also, six people have died and 10 others have gone missing after downpours battered southwest China’s Sichuan Province in the last two days, local officials said.
Heavy rain also pounded parts of Panzhihua city, causing landslides, cave-ins and flash floods.
