Cao Van Ly, 65, was arrested to be investigated for resisting law enforcement, police of Vinh Phuc's Vinh Tuong District said Tuesday. On Sunday last week, a police team of five was patrolling in Hoang Xa Village at around 2:20 p.m. when they signaled for Ly to stop his car for an alcohol check. Upon getting closer to the team, Ly made a U-turn with his car and attempted to drive in the direction of Tuan Chinh Village, local media reported. Police officers then approached the car and requested it to return. Ly then got off the car and explained that he was going the wrong way. When the police requested Ly to back off his car to the side of the road, Ly locked his car door and continued to drive towards the direction where the officers were standing.

Nguyen Thi Thanh, who said that she was a survivor of the mass killing of about 70 people in Phong Nhat - Phong Nhi Village in the central province of Quang Nam in 1968 by South Korean marines, filed a damages suit against the South Korean government in 2020, seeking ₩30 million as compensation. Thanh said she lost her family members and received gunshot injuries during the incident, the Yonhap News Agency reported. The Seoul Central District Court on Tuesday ruled in favor of Thanh, ordering the state to compensate her the aforementioned amount of money, plus interests. While the South Korean government argued that it was immune to the damages suit filed by a Vietnamese due to an agreement signed between Vietnam, South Korea and the U.S., the court rejected the argument. It also rejected another claim that the South Korean marines’ involvement in the murder has not been clearly proven, or that it was justifiable in the context of the war. Thanh said she was "tremendously … [Read more...] about South Korean court orders state to compensate Vietnamese woman for Vietnam War massacre

Tremors that inflicted more suffering on a border area, already plagued by conflict, left people on the streets burning debris to try to stay warm as international aid began to arrive. But some extraordinary survival tales have emerged, including a newborn baby pulled alive from rubble in Syria, still tied by her umbilical cord to her mother who died in Monday's quake. "We heard a voice while we were digging," Khalil al-Suwadi, a relative, told AFP. "We cleared the dust and found the baby with the umbilical cord (intact) so we cut it and my cousin took her to hospital." The infant is the sole survivor of her immediate family, the rest of whom were killed in the rebel-held town of Jindayris. The 7.8-magnitude quake struck Monday as people slept, flattening thousands of structures, trapping an unknown number of people and potentially impacting millions. Whole rows of buildings collapsed, leaving some of the heaviest devastation near the quake's epicentre between the Turkish … [Read more...] about Turkey-Syria quake toll tops 7,800 as rescuers battle cold

This was a key battle taking place on February 6 and 7, 1968, in the first phase of the campaign, leaving valuable experience in military art, especially in choosing right targets and flexibly using combined-arms strength. Vay Village is 8km west of Huong Hoa district. This was a strong point in the enemy’s defensive system of Road 9 - Khe Sanh, with the aim of protecting their Ta Con base. The base was built on two heights, No.320 and No.420, about 2km from the old Vay Village base (which was destroyed in May 1967), and was occupied by a commando and spy battalion of the Saigon regime. Namely, the No.420 was the outpost managed by a scout platoon. Meanwhile, the No.320 - the main stronghold - consisted of six zones with 21 blockhouses and a number of shelters, underground bunkers, connected together by trenches, as well as barbwire fences and various minefields. The enemy’s force had four reconnaissance companies, an American platoon, and was equipped with a large amount of heavy … [Read more...] about Military art developed during Road 9 – Khe Sanh Campaign

Rescuers in Turkey and Syria braved frigid weather, aftershocks and collapsing buildings Tuesday, as they dug for survivors buried by an earthquake that killed more than 5,000 people. Disaster agencies said several thousand buildings were flattened in cities across a vast border region -- pouring misery on an area already plagued by war, insurgency, refugee crises and a recent cholera outbreak. Through the night, survivors used their bare hands to pick over the twisted ruins of multi-storey apartment blocks -- trying to save family, friends and anyone else sleeping inside when the first massive 7.8-magnitude quake struck early Monday. "Where is my mum?" asked a distraught seven-year-old girl who was pulled -- her face, hair and pyjamas covered in dust -- from a collapsed building in Hatay, on the Turkish side of the border. Police officer Zekeriya Yildiz hugs his daughter after they saved her from the rubble in Hatay, southwest Turkey on February 6, 2023.

Forest peach blossoms in the Hmong language are called " to day." According to Vang A Thao, a tour guide at Mu Cang Chai, the flowers usually bloom at the end of December of the lunar calendar. This year, due to changes in weather, the flowers bloomed nearly a month later than usual. Peach flowers in Mu Cang Chai bloom the most in La Pan Tan Commune, and Trong Tong and Trong Pao Sang villages. The forest peach blossoms can also be found in other places, such as Thao Chua Chai Village, Che Cu Nha Commune, Mi Hang Village, Mo De Commune, and Lao Chai Commune. Thao said that the flowers bloom according to the height of the area. The trees in the higher areas bloom first, and the trees in the lower areas bloom later. This is why La Pan Tan Commune is the area where the flowers bloom the earliest. Because the flowers only bloom in cold … [Read more...] about Forest peach blossoms bloom all over Mu Cang Chai

Many tourists in HCM City choose to travel around the city by cyclos. The number of cyclo drivers in HCM City has sharply reduced over recent years due to the city’s rapid urbanisation.
