Eight people died and 21 are missing due to heavy rains this week in Brazil's southern state of Rio Grande do Sul, the civil defense service said on Wednesday.

Authorities reported over 1,400 displaced individuals in the wake of storms that led to rising river levels and flooding in various parts of the state, affecting 104 municipalities.
