BEIJING—Eighteen people were killed and 14 were missing in eastern China on Saturday, Aug. 10 in a landslide triggered by a major typhoon, which caused widespread transport disruptions and the evacuation of more than one million people, state broadcaster CCTV reported.
Typhoon Lekima made landfall early on Saturday in the eastern province of Zhejiang with maximum winds of 116 miles per hour, although it had weakened from its earlier designation as a “super” typhoon, according to state-owned news agency Xinhua.
