10 killed in Romania floods

At least 10 people have died and three are missing after heavy rains and flooding in north-east Romania, authorities said today.

Emergency situations spokeswoman Dorina Lupu, from Botosani county, said torrential rains last night led to floods that killed six people, most from the town of Dorohoi. She says a 15-year-old boy is missing, and hundreds of people have been evacuated.
