BEIJING—Continued heavy rainfall from Tropical Storm Gaemi triggered a landslide that killed at least 12 people in southern China, caused flash floods in the northeast and railway disruptions elsewhere, state media reported on Sunday.

Cyclonic winds from Gaemi, downgraded from a typhoon, had mostly dissipated by Sunday, but many parts of China remained under alert for flooding risks caused by earlier rains. Remnants of Gaemi’s vast cloud-banks could still dump rain on already waterlogged cities, forecasters warned.
