Chinese emergency teams have successfully extracted four survivors from collapsed structures in Mandalay, Myanmar, following a devastating 7.9-magnitude earthquake that struck the region on Friday. Among those rescued is a pregnant woman, officials confirmed in a Monday morning briefing.
A 91-member delegation organized by China's Ministry of Emergency Management arrived swiftly over the weekend, comprising five specialized emergency response units. The teams are coordinating with local authorities to search for additional survivors amidst unstable infrastructure and frequent aftershocks.
The earthquake—one of the strongest recorded in Myanmar this decade—has drawn international attention to disaster response capabilities in Southeast Asia. Chinese state media reported rescue crews are using advanced life-detection equipment while navigating challenging terrain.
