Typhoon hits China killing three people
Three people have died after Typhoon Soulik hit China’s southern Guangdong province, state media say.
20,000 people have been forced to flee their homes due to the storm, which has already killed two other people in Taiwan, reports the Xinhua news agency.
Around 300,000 people have already been evacuated from eastern China amid warnings of floods and landslides.
In Fujian and Zhejiang, another Chinese coastal province, flights and train services were cancelled and fishing boats called back to shore.
Forecasters say the typhoon weakened as it moved inland on Sunday but heavy rain and strong winds persist.
Typhoon Soulik is the seventh typhoon to hit the Chinese mainland this year, reports the BBC.
