- Story Text: At least 25 people have died in China's flood-stricken central province of Henan, a dozen of them in a subway line in its capital.
About 100,000 people have been evacuated in Zhengzhou, the capital, where rail and road transport have been disrupted, while dams and reservoirs have swelled to warning levels while thousands of troops launched a rescue effort in the province.
City authorities said more than 500 people were pulled to safety from the flooded subway. Drone footage from state broadcaster CCTV showed cars submerged in a residential area.
More rain is forecast across Henan for the next three days, and the People's Liberation Army has sent more than 5,700 soldiers and personnel to help with search and rescue.
