(AP) BEIJING – A series of earthquakes collapsed houses and triggered landslides Friday in a remote mountainous part of southwestern China where damage was preventing rescues and communications were disrupted. At least 64 deaths have been reported. The quakes started with a 5.6-magnitude shock before 11:30 a.m. along the borders of Guizhou and Yunnan provinces, and another equally big quake struck shortly after noon followed by more than 60 aftershocks, Chinese and U.S. government seismologists said. Though of moderate strength, the quakes were shallow, which often causes more damage. Hardest hit was Yiliang County, where all but one of the deaths occurred, according to the Yunnan provincial government’s official website. Another 715 people in the county were injured, the sites said. Yiliang county’s high population density, weak building construction, and propensity for landslides were blamed for the relatively high death toll. China Central Television showed roads littered with rocks and boulders, and pillars of dust rising over hillcrests — signs of landslides. Footage showed a couple hundred people crowding into what looked like a school athletic field in Yiliang’s county seat, a sizeable city spread along a river in a valley bottom. With some roads impassable, rescuers had yet to reach some outlying villages and towns, the official Xinhua News Agency said. Though quakes in the area occur frequently, 사설 먹튀 buildings in rural areas and China’s fast-growing smaller...

Ruling out a strike by space debris or a micrometeoroid, Russian engineers say a small leak in a Soyuz crew ferry ship docked to the International Space Station was the result of a hole drilled into the wall of the spacecraft’s upper compartment, an apparent case of human error. The hole was discovered and patched last week. According to Russian media accounts, Dmitry Rogozin, director general of the Russian space agency Roscosmos, told reporters Monday the hole was drilled “by a human hand” and that he was not ruling out any theories, saying it could have happened on the ground before launch or after the spacecraft reached orbit June 6. Known for controversial comments and tweets, 홀덤 전략 Rogozin — a former deputy prime minister who was sanctioned by the Obama administration in the wake of Russia’s 2014 annexation of Crimea — did not address why an astronaut or cosmonaut might do such a thing given the obvious danger to the space station and its six-member crew. “We are considering all the theories,” Rogozin said Monday in a report posted in English by the TASS news agency. “The one about a meteorite impact has been rejected because the spaceship’s hull was evidently impacted from inside.” While he said it was too early to come to a conclusion, “it seems to be done by a faltering hand.” “It was done...
