Six killed, four missing after heavy rain hits Jilin
Six people were killed and four were missing after torrential rain hit the northeastern city of Shulan in Jilin province, state media said on Sunday. Shulan is among the latest areas to suffer from the aftermath of Typhoon Doksuri, which swept northwards over China and brought exceptionally heavy rains.  Xinhua news agency said the downpours in the area have "basically ended", with almost 19,000 people evacuated and 21 temporary relocation facilities set up. Clean-up operations are ongoing after the severe rainfall destroyed infrastructure and triggered flooding, with footage from CCTV showing villagers using shovels to clear muddy water from buildings in Heilongjiang. Mainland officials said on Saturday that at least 10 people were killed in floods in Hebei province when the storm ravaged the area. (Xinhua/AFP)
