Four people, including two children, are missing after a two-story building of a village primary school collapsed early Friday in east China's Jiangxi province, said rescuers.

The building of the primary school in Dangkou village, Yihuang county, collapsed in the early hours on Friday due to rainstorm-triggered mud flow, said local government.

Two children aged five and seven are among the missing. The rescue operation is under way.

More than 2,700 people were evacuated after downpours battered Fuzhou City, Jiangxi on Thursday and early Friday.
