A critical dam breach at the Liulan Reservoir in Hengzhou, Nanning, has triggered a Level I flood emergency response. Fueled by torrential rain from Typhoon Maysak, the disaster has left two people dead and affected approximately 55,000 residents across the region, with 48,000 citizens urgently evacuated from the affected areas, according to an official briefing. Nanning upgraded its flood response from Level III to Level I on July 6.
