Beijing, September 10 (QNA) :
A total of 16 people have been confirmed dead after rain-triggered mudslides and landslides struck Suichuan County in east China’s Jiangxi Province.
Days of torrential rain caused a series of geological disasters in the county. As of Wednesday afternoon, over 18,000 residents had been evacuated, Xinhua news agency reported.
