MANAGUA, Oct. 6 (Xinhua) -- Nicaragua said Saturday that 12 of its 15 provinces and two special regions have been affected by heavy rain in the past 24 hours.

Some areas in the 12 provinces were greatly impacted, including 12 municipalities in six provinces that received the brunt of the rain, said Rogelio Flores, the chief of staff for civil defense.
