At least 36 people have died after a passenger train smashed into a vehicle on its tracks and partially derailed outside a tunnel in Taiwan.Dozens more have been injured and survivors climbed out of windows and onto roofs to reach safety in the island’s worst railway disaster in decades.The crash occurred near the Toroko Gorge scenic area at around 9am on a public holiday, and officials in Hualien county said rescue efforts are continuing.
Taiwan detected 37 Chinese military aircraft, including fighter jets and drones, near its airspace, with 35 crossing the median line of the Taiwan Strait. In response, Taiwan deployed aircraft, naval vessels, and shore-based missiles. The incident follows recent Chinese military drills and heightened defense patrols. China frames these maneuvers as defense measures, raising tensions as Beijing views Taiwan as a breakaway province, intensifying regional concerns over potential conflict.
