The crack, about 18 meters long, occurred this morning in a dam on the Wanghe River in the city of Tiehling. Residents threatened by the crack have been evacuated without any casualties reported so far. A front-line headquarters has been set up in response to the emergency, while repair work on the dam is currently underway.
