Thirteen people have been killed and at least 34 are missing after Typhoon Fanapi caused flooding and landslides in southern China, state media report.
The typhoon made landfall in Guangdong province on Monday, a day after it hit Taiwan, killing two people and leaving more than 100 injured on the island.
Five of the victims in China died after a dam at a mine burst, while two others were in a house that collapsed.
Meteorologists said the typhoon was the strongest to hit the country this year.

Local government officials said five people were dead, six missing and seven injured after a tailings dam at the Xinyi Yinyan Tin Mine in the Qianbai township of Xinyi burst, the state-run Xinhua news agency said.
