> A wall collapsed Tuesday afternoon in a village in Changning County, Sichuan Province, killing five people and injuring 17 others. Local authorities said water accumulated on a temporary rain shelter during a courtyard banquet, causing the wall supporting it to give way. Three died at the scene and two later succumbed to their injuries.
