TORRENTIAL rains have caused cave-ins across a 500,000-square-meter area near a mine in central China's Hunan Province, forcing residents to evacuate, local authorities said yesterday.
An unknown number of cave-ins in Ningxiang County, some as deep as 15 meters, have damaged buildings, bridges and electricity poles, cutting power supplies to some villages.
The county government evacuated 28 families whose homes have been damaged by the cave-ins.
More than 6,900 people are living in the affected area.
Ningxiang County is one of the first areas to report damage from the third round of heavy rains that began on Sunday.
More rain is expected this week. Casualties and property loss from the rains in Hunan are not immediately known, the province's flood-control headquarters said.
