The village, which huddled together on a plateau over 4,000 meters above sea level, has turned into a field.

The blue flowing river stream has also turned into turbidity.

On the ground with the dusk, drones equipped with lights are launched in the air.

It supports the rescue and search of the vigil by lighting up to 8,000 square meters of darkness.

They are fighting to save even one more person, but the golden time is short and the manpower is insufficient.

In addition to the 6.8-magnitude earthquake and more than 600 aftershocks, a 5.5-magnitude earthquake struck nearby Qinghai.

Tibet's government in exile in India has blamed resource shortages, and China has responded.

China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs recited the list one by one, saying that the leaders of 23 countries, including Russia and Japan, sent a comforting war, but not only the U.S. but also the two Koreas were missing side by side.
