(Bloomberg) -- Heavy rainfalls continued to hit cities across China over the weekend, causing more damage and costing more lives, China Central Television reported.
At least 12 people were killed after a house collapsed Sunday morning following a mountain landslide in the city of Hengyang, in Hunan province, CCTV reported. Rescuers are still working at the site, CCTV added.
Linjiang city in northeastern China’s Jilin province issued a top-level emergency alert in response to floods in some sections of the Yalu River, CCTV said in a separate report. The city authority has ordered work, schools and transportation to be suspended, it added.
Heavy rains have lashed parts of China since mid-July.
