(Constanta, Romania) - At least 10 people were killed and two were missing as storms and floods hit large areas of the eastern Balkans, leaving thousands of people stranded, officials said Monday.

Hundreds of people were evacuated across Bulgaria's worst-hit regions of Veliko Tarnovo, Targovishte, Stara Zagora and Shumen. An emergency was declared by authorities in four communities in the Shumen region and two districts near Targovishte.

Dozens of towns and villages in some 11 regions were flooded and suffered severe damage, the civil defence agency said in a statement.
