Two missing after floods in NW China

Two people have been reported missing after flooding in northwest China's Gansu province, local authorities told Xinhua on Tuesday.

Rainstorms began to hit Tebo county in Gannan Tibetan autonomous prefecture at 8:30 p.m. on Monday, which caused floods and cut off transportation, water and power supplies to the county, said an official of the prefecture's government.

Two villagers from the county are reported missing. Rescuers have arrived and a search operation is under way.
