Rescuers in central China were searching Wednesday for nine people left missing in a landslide amid widespread flooding in much of the country.
The disaster struck Huangmei county in Hubei province at around 4 a.m., according to rescue services. Forty other people were rescued and moved to shelter, they said.
Nearly 30,000 people were evacuated in Hubei's Huanggang city after water started seeping from a reservoir, prompting emergency workers to shore up the structure and dig a channel to release the overflow.
