Deadly flooding in China’s Chongqing municipality has claimed nine lives while 11 individuals remain unaccounted for after intense storms battered the region, according to state broadcaster CCTV’s Monday report.<\/p>

Multiple communities and rural areas within the Yongchuan district experienced devastating impacts from intense precipitation that struck suddenly during Saturday night hours, according to earlier state media accounts. Officials had initially confirmed three fatalities on Sunday.<\/p>

The intense precipitation triggered rapid flooding and slope failures throughout the region, prompting authorities to evacuate more than 2,000 local residents, according to the state-operated Xinhua news agency.<\/p>

The latest casualties add to the dozens of fatalities recorded earlier in the week as a band of severe weather moved through extensive portions of central and southwestern China.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
