A MONGOLIAN VILLAGER CHECKS THE WATER LEVEL IN INNER MONGOLIA.
A villager checks a flooded area in Nanhaizi March 13. Chinese air force planes dropped 20 bombs to blow up ice blocking a 22 kilometre section of the Yellow River in Nanhaizi near Baotou City, an industrial base of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. The obstruction caused water levels to rise, disrupting traffic on a national highway and operations of a nearby power plant.
