Five killed after torrential rainfall in Henan

CCTV quoted Ma Xiaolin, Party secretary of Taiping town in Xixia county, as saying that the authorities had evacuated 445 residents from 142 households across seven villages. The rescue team prioritized restoring power, transportation, and communication networks.

The heavy rains also prompted flood warnings across Henan, with Luoyang activating a Level IV emergency response and Kaifeng issuing a thunderstorm alert on Tuesday.
