> More than 2,300 rescuers are continuing search operations at Gyirong Port in Xizang after a mudslide left 31 dead and 531 missing. Authorities have monitored 112 potential hazard sites and deployed drones and slope radar to detect secondary geological threats. Water flow from a former barrier lake is normal, while 14 glacial lakes remain generally stable.
