At least 25 people were killed and 37 went missing in northwest China after continuous downpours began to hit cities and counties in Shaanxi province Tuesday, Xinhua news agency reported, quoting the local flood control headquarters.

Meanwhile, another Xinhua report said at least ten were killed and two missing after a landslide hit a hydropower station under construction in southwest China's Sichuan province Friday.

The flow of mud and rocks triggered by rainstorms hit the construction site in Ya'an city and a group of workers were engulfed whilst trying to escape, the provincial disaster relief office was cited as saying.
