Beijing (AFP) Aug 22, 2025
Twelve people were killed and four are missing after part of a bridge under construction collapsed Friday in northwest China, state media reported. A video published by state broadcaster CCTV showed the middle of the bridge's arch section suddenly giving way and plunging into the waters of the Yellow River below. The cause was a steel cable failure, state news agency Xinhua said.
