Floodwater breached a reservoir in southern China and threatened others, as heavy rain pounded the region, leading to the evacuation of hundreds of people in the area.
Local officials established rescue-and-evacuation teams as they cautioned residents to stay away from the affected regions, rivers and low areas.
At about 11am on Monday, two sections of the dam at Liulan Reservoir in Hengzhou in Guangxi gave way.
The collapse created a 50-metre (164-foot) gap, the China Business Network reported, with a large number of torrents flooding downstream.
