Argentina Storm Kills at Least 13

by VOA News

   Argentina's new president, Javier Milei, and several members of his
   cabinet traveled to the port city of Bahia Blanca Sunday to examine the
   havoc left behind by a major storm.

   At least 13 people were killed in Bahia Blanca Saturday when heavy
   rains and winds caused a sports center roof to collapse.

   Officials say at least 14 people inside the center also were injured
   when the roof caved in.

   The storm moved on to Argentina's capital Sunday, downing trees and
   causing power outages and other damage.

   Officials say the storm also killed two people in neighboring Uruguay.
