Rescuers evacuated people stranded by floodwater and repaired power systems damaged in rainstorms brought by Typhoon Matmo in south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region on Monday.
In Shangsi County of Guangxi's Fangchenggang City, firefighters used inflatable boats to ferry five people trapped in a flooded house.
They also rescued four other people in an inundated vehicle in the village.
In Yinhai District of Guangxi's Beihai City, technicians rushed to repair the damaged power system as trees and electricity poles fell in the rainstorm. Electricity supply in the affected areas resumed later on Monday.
Typhoon Matmo, the 21st named storm of the 2025 Pacific typhoon season, was downgraded to a severe tropical storm as it made landfall in Guangxi's coastal areas at around 01:10 Monday, packing strong winds and heavy rain. Beihai, Qinzhou and Fangchenggang were among the cities that borne the brunt of the typhoon's impact.
