Torrential rains brought by Typhoon Maysak have triggered severe flooding across Guangxi. As of Tuesday evening, six people had been killed and 11 others remained missing. By 19:30 on Tuesday, water levels at the Guigang section of the Yujiang River had risen 5.68 meters above the warning level, according to the local hydrology center. To ensure safety, all vessels have returned to harbor and anchored, while hydrology stations continue to monitor water levels around the clock. On Tuesday night, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) Southern Theater Command deployed 500 officers and soldiers to conduct night patrols along the south bank of the Yujiang River in Guigang City. The troops worked to reinforce embankments and prepare for potential flooding. Throughout the night, they inspected dikes, strengthened weak sections, and checked key areas to identify and eliminate hazards. "Due to continuous heavy rainfall, the earthen embankments have been soaked, making them highly prone to risks such as seepage, piping, landslides, and cracks in the dike body. We are now dividing the embankments into different zones and patrolling along them constantly, intensifying inspections and investigations to ensure that any potential hazards are detected and addressed immediately," said Dai Jinkui, officer of a brigade of PLA Southern Theater Command. On Tuesday, both Guangxi and neighboring Guangdong Province upgraded their flood-control emergency response to the highest level.
