Severe flooding in southern Thailand kills 14
BANGKOK — Severe flooding due to heavy rain in southern Thailand has killed 14 people, including five students, the interior ministry said Tuesday.
Six days of floods have affected 582,345 people in 11 of Thailand’s 76 provinces, the ministry said in a statement. One person is reportedly missing, while three others suffered injuries.
Trains have also been halted in one province off the Gulf of Thailand as the rails there were submerged under rising floodwaters.
