Mudslides and flooding in the northwestern Chinese city of Xian killed two people, and 16 others are missing, state owned China Central Television (CCTV) reported on Saturday.
The casualties come after heavy rainfall and floods devastated many parts of China, with some extreme weather following in the wake of Typhoon Doksuri which made landfall in southern Fujian province almost three weeks ago.
Search and rescue teams and river bank reinforcement personnel have been sent to the area, added CCTV. In the capital Beijing and the northeastern city of Harbin, some trains were suspended on Saturday due to heavy rain and strong winds, according to two separate reports on CCTV.
