Fatal Typhoon Maysak floods burst dam wall in China
A reservoir wall broke in Nanning, China, sending out a torrent of water after rivers swelled from the passage of a typhoon. At least two people have been killed by flooding due to Typhoon Maysak, officials have said. The city’s emergency flood‑control response has been raised to its highest level.
The dam wall, part of a local reservoir system, ruptured when water levels rose sharply. Emergency services scrambled to contain the surge and evacuate residents. Authorities are working to assess damage and prevent further breaches as rainfall continues across the region.
