A powerful, shallow earthquake struck northwest China, resulting in over 110 fatalities and numerous injuries across Gansu and Qinghai provinces.
The tremor, reported between magnitude 5.9 and 6.2, caused widespread building collapses, power outages, and water disruptions, forcing residents into freezing streets.
Rescue efforts are actively underway in sub-zero temperatures, with Chinese President Xi Jinping urging "all-out efforts" for search, relief, and survivor safety.
The quake, which occurred late Monday near the Gansu-Qinghai border, was followed by aftershocks and felt hundreds of kilometers away.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
