Typhoon Soudelor battered Taiwan and China over the weekend, leaving at least 28 dead and several more missing.
The Chinese government says 21 people have been killed by typhoon-related impacts, with the deaths coming in the provinces of Zhejiang, Fujian, Anhui and Jiangxi. At least five others are missing, likely trapped under mudslides or swept away by flooding, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation said.
Officials issued a grade-IV emergency, the lowest emergency level, for areas hard-hit by Soudelor in China, Xinhua News Agency reported. Two teams were dispatched to Zhejiang and Fujian provinces to aid those affected by the storm. (Two videos below)
