Following a severe electrical storm that struck along the South American country's Atlantic coast on Saturday, at least 13 people have been killed in Argentina, Reuters reported citing Federico Susbielles, mayor of Bahia Blanca.
The city is near the southern tip of Buenos Aires province, one of Argentina's top grain-producing regions.
In a statement, the office of President Javier Milei offered condolences to the families of the victims and recommended that locals remain inside their homes through Sunday morning, citing destructive wind gusts in the area exceeding 150 kph (93 mph).
