  "account": "Six lives were lost and nine remain missing after landslides struck eastern China due to heavy rains from Typhoon Saudel, according to state media. In Mingkeng village of Jiangxi province, five fatalities and seven missing persons were reported on Saturday, as shared by Xinhua. Additional landslides in Zuo an and Tanghu townships left one dead and two others unaccounted for. The torrential rains caused by the typhoon had already prompted several cities to halt work, close schools, and suspend transport services. The Mingkeng landslide caused significant damage to homes and road instability, with over 170 rescuers dispatched to the affected area. This follows a series of devastating glacial floods in the Himalayas last month, claiming 43 lives in Tibet and nearly 1,300 in Nepal. Scientists attribute the heightened risk of such disasters to climate change, which is accelerating glacial melting and intensifying extreme storms globally.",
