Survivors led away from Taiwan train crash as dead toll rises
Taiwan rescuers are scrambling to reach passengers trapped inside a train derailed inside a tunnel, as the fire agency confirmed at least 41 people died in the crash so far.
Some comparatively unscathed passengers are able to walk out of the crashed carriages by climbing onto the roof.
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.
