Updated: 2009-09-16 22:23 GUANGZHOU: Three people have been killed and four others remain missing as typhoon Koppu slammed its way into south China's Guangdong Province, local authorities said Wednesday.
The typhoon, the 15th this year, has brought heavy rains to the province. Although it relieved the lingering drought in north and east Guangdong, the rain was also causing disruption. Houses in Yangchun, Xinyi and Luoding cities had been destroyed by typhoon-triggered landslides, the news release said. |
