A series of flash floods and a construction accident have led to multiple fatalities and missing persons in northern China. A flash flood struck a wild camping site in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, with the death toll rising from an initial nine to 12 as of August 22, 2025. One survivor from the flood is receiving stable treatment at a local hospital. Rescue operations involved over 700 personnel. Separately, a construction rope broke on a bridge under construction on the Qinghai section of the Sichuan-Qinghai Railway early on August 22, resulting in seven deaths and nine people reported missing. China's Ministry of Emergency Management has dispatched a work team to oversee rescue and response efforts for the railway accident. The incidents have occurred amid ongoing heavy rains in northern China, which have contributed to a total of 13 deaths and multiple missing persons in the region over recent days.
