One day before the opening ceremony of the 2023 Taiwanese National Indigenous Games in Taipei, the giant tent set up in the event area was lifted by a sudden strong wind. The collapsed tent fell on the guests who were trying to escape. A Japanese tourist suffered minor injuries to his foot.
The tourist was discharged after receiving treatment and was paid 2,000 Taiwan dollars for the accident.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has appointed Andrey Nikitin as Deputy Minister of Transport, replacing Roman Starovoit. Nikitin had been serving as deputy since February. No official reason was given for Starovoit’s dismissal, though Russian media suggest the decision was made months ago. Nikitin pledged to improve Russia’s transportation sector, calling it essential for the country’s economy.
