In India, the collapse of a large advertising billboard killed at least 14 people and injured more than 70 in the city of Mumbai, formerly known as Bombay.

Heavy rain and strong winds caused the billboard to fall 30 meters above a gas station on Monday evening.

A rescue operation was underway Tuesday morning, and it was unclear how many people might still be trapped.

Police say the sign was installed illegally and are investigating the incident.

India experiences heavy rains and severe flooding during the monsoon season, between June and September, which brings most of the annual rainfall. These rains are essential for agriculture, but they often cause considerable damage.
