> The first excavators have reached the main search-and-rescue area at mudslide-hit Gyirong Port in southwest China’s Xizang Autonomous Region. Heavy rain and flooding have blocked access, while rescuers tackle deep mud and fast-moving water. Some teams turned back as conditions worsened, as crews continue clearing the road.
