BUENOS AIRES—Heavy rains in the Argentine port city of Bahia Blanca, southwest of the capital Buenos Aires, left at least 10 dead and caused substantial flooding on Friday.
More than 260 millimeters (10 inches) of rain fell within a few hours, destroying bridges and causing asphalt roads to collapse, the city said, adding that more fatalities could not be ruled out.
