At least 15 people have died in torrential rains across southern China. Eight died in two building collapses from landslides in Fujian province, near China's east coast. Five others died and three were missing in Yunnan province, about 1,200 kilometers away in southwestern China.

Three children were swept away by floodwaters Friday in Xincheng country in the Guangxi region with two died and one survived. The storm damaged roads, bridges and telecommunications and power facilities in Yunnan's Qiubei County, which is about 130 kilometers north of the border with Vietnam. In Fujian, five victims were found in a collapsed factory building and three others in a collapsed residential building on Friday.
