Mexico City/IBNS/UNI: At least 11 people have died and another 20 are missing amid heavy floods in Brazil’s southernmost state of Rio Grande do Sul, the state’s civil defense authorities inform.

On Friday, at least 16 municipalities in Rio Grande do Sul were affected by floods and landslides caused by an extratropical cyclone.
