BEIJING: At least eight people have died in a flash flood in northern China, state media reported on Sunday (Aug 17), with four others still missing, as the East Asian monsoon continues to unleash atmospheric chaos across the world's second-largest economy.
The banks of a river running through the grasslands of Inner Mongolia burst at around 10pm (1400 GMT) on Saturday, the report said, washing away 13 campers on the outskirts of Bayannur city, a major agricultural hub. One person has been rescued.
