A terrifying tornado struck northern China, sending metal fences flying through the air.

The CCTV footage was filmed in Harbin City in Heilongjiang Province on June 13.

The tornado also caused power lines to explode, leading to significant damage in some areas.

The meteorological department swiftly confirmed the tornado incident and conducted a preliminary assessment of the affected zones.

Meteorologists suggested that the tornado's formation might be linked to specific weather conditions that day, such as the convergence of cold air and warm, moist airflow. However, a thorough analysis is still underway to pinpoint the exact cause.

Initial investigations revealed that the tornado led to incidents of power lines flashing and bursting, indicating localised destruction.

Despite the terrifying scenes, the overall impact was relatively limited, with no widespread devastation or casualties reported.
