BEIJING—A tornado blew through a city in northeast China, damaging factories and buildings, killing six people and injuring another 190, state media reported on July 4.

The tornado hit Kaiyuan, a county-level city in Liaoning Province, late Wednesday afternoon, local authorities said in a brief online statement. Footage from state broadcaster CCTV showed a stretch of collapsed low-rise buildings where firefighters were working through the debris. Glass windows in homes and cars were blown out.
