At least 10 people have drowned and dozens are missing in north-east Iran after heavy rain caused flash floods.
An official in Golestan province says floods overnight on Tuesday were worse than those which had swept through the area a few days before.
Roads, buildings and farmland have been damaged and rescue teams have been sent to the area.
The effect of flooding has been worsened by intensive deforestation of the mountainous Golestan region.
Reports say scores of livestock have been killed by the floods and vast areas damaged.
