Back-to-back tornadoes killed at least 10 people in central and eastern China and left more than 300 others injured, officials and state media have reported.
Six people died in the inland city of Wuhan and four others in the town of Shengze, about 600km (370 miles) east, in Jiangsu province, local government statements said.
A tornado first struck Shengze about 7 pm on Friday, toppling factory buildings and damaging electricity facilities, the official Xinhua news agency said. The Suzhou city government, which oversees the town, said in a social media post that four people had died and 149 others had minor injuries. Shengze is near Shanghai on China’s east coast.
