> A mudslide triggered by an ice-rock avalanche struck Gyirong Port in China’s Xizang on August 26, killing 16 people and leaving 546 missing. More than 2,000 rescuers are conducting searches, clearing roads and assessing hazards. Teams have cleared 533 meters of the G216 highway, while barrier lakes have largely drained, though rain and geological risks remain.
