Heavy rainfall from Monday night to Tuesday triggered flooding which disrupted traffic in parts of Wuzhong City, northwest China's Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, prompting local emergency departments to launch drainage and rescue operations.
Firefighters cordoned off submerged road sections, used pumps to drain floodwaters, and cleared debris-clogged sewer networks.
They handled multiple emergencies involving people and vehicles trapped in floodwaters.
Traffic has returned to normal across Wuzhong's urban area.

An exhibition on ancient American civilizations opened Thursday at the Shanghai Museum in east China, showcasing artifacts that highlight dialogue across cultures and civilizations.
Named "On Top of the World Tree: Ancient Civilizations of the Americas", the exhibition is destined to become one of the longest-running and most influential cultural events of its kind.
It showcases nearly 3,000 precious artifacts, comprising 1,129 sets, from cultural institutions in Mexico, Peru and China, dating from 1200 BC to the 16th century AD, and offers a panoramic view of the ancient civilizations of Central and South America.
The exhibits range from maize god figurines, magnetic parrot shoulder ornaments, and delicate Maya calendar bracelets to plush jaguar toys.
The exhibition will run until November 14, 2027.
