Rescue teams using specially trained dogs and drones managed to pull four injured people from the wreckage. The injuries are not life-threatening.

Taiwanese officials attributed the landslide to recent earthquakes in Hualien County and heavy rainfall. The affected road and nearby parking lot are expected to reopen in a week.

US Flag Raised Again at Embassy in Damascus After 12 Year

0

 

The US flag has been hoisted once more at the US Embassy in Damascus, Syria, for the first time since its closure in 2012.

US Special Representative for Syria Thomas Barrack made his first official visit to Damascus and personally raised the flag during a ceremony attended by Syrian Foreign Minister Assad Hassan Shaybani. The embassy had suspended operations amid the outbreak of civil conflict following anti-government protests.

No official statement has been issued regarding the resumption of embassy operations.

The move follows a surprise meeting earlier this month between US President Donald Trump and Syrian President Ahmed al-Shara in Riyadh, where a decision was made to lift sanctions imposed during the Assad era, signaling a potential shift in Washington-Damascus relations.
