Flooding from Tropical Storm Maysak kills 39 in southern China

Tropical Storm Maysak caused severe flooding in southern China, resulting in 39 deaths, primarily due to a dam breach in Nanning. Over 130,000 people were evacuated as part of a large-scale rescue operation involving thousands of rescuers, drones, and boats. The National Meteorological Centre reported heavy rainfall, with some areas receiving over 90cm of rain. Officials noted that floodwaters are receding, though more rain is expected. In addition to human casualties, over 100 animals escaped from a flooded zoo, prompting warnings to the public about potential dangers.
