At least 10 people have died in Missouri after tornadoes tore through central and southern parts of the US, authorities have confirmed.

Missouri's governor has warned of further severe weather, including the risk of additional tornadoes on Saturday. The state's emergency management service has reported widespread damage across multiple regions.

"The Patrol and local agencies are working tirelessly to assist those in need and assess the damage," Missouri State Highway Patrol said in a statement on X.

The destructive storms have also struck Texas and Oklahoma, where they fuelled more than 100 wildfires and overturned several semi-trailer trucks, according to CBS News, the BBC's US partner.

One of those fires, known as the 840 Road Fire, has already burned 27,500 acres and remains 0% contained, according to the Oklahoma Forestry Service. The agency has issued a "red flag" warning for the Panhandle, signaling extreme fire danger.

The state of Mississippi is now on high alert as well for a potential tornado outbreak, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (Noaa).
