TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) — A flash flood swept through a campsite in north China, killing 10 people and leaving two missing, state media reported Sunday.
Saturday’s flood occurred around 10 p.m. local time in Urad Rear Banner, an expansive mountainous area in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous region known for its popular campsites.
Thirteen campers went missing initially. By Sunday morning, one had been rescued and eight bodies had been found, according to the official Xinhua news agency. Two more people were found dead later in the day.
Search and rescue efforts were underway for the remaining two missing people.
Northern China has seen several instances of flash flooding and landslides in recent weeks. Deluges in the northwestern Gansu province earlier this month left at least 10 people dead and 33 missing.
Heavy rains have also battered other parts of the country, with Hong Kong seeing historic downpours.
