Three people were killed and another person injured after floods hit a county in southwest China's Yunnan Province, local authorities said Saturday.

Rainstorms battered Mouding County on Friday night, and the county saw precipitation levels reach 117.2 mm early Saturday morning.

The flood has left seven townships in the county affected, causing damaged roads and farmland. A total of 2,306 people have been relocated to safer places, said the county publicity department.

Rescue work is underway.
