The Sky Villa Condominium has remained a critical focus of the ongoing rescue efforts, with several more individuals believed to be trapped under the rubble.

Chinese rescuers in Mandalay have been racing against time, braving heat and the smell of dead bodies, to win back more lives within the golden 72 hours, with the help of advanced audio and video life-detection equipment to conduct precise and targeted search operations.

In addition, the search and rescue mission has been hampered by frequent aftershocks and the severe structural collapse of buildings, which have posed significant risks to both trapped individuals and rescue personnel.

A powerful 7.9-magnitude earthquake struck central Myanmar at around 12:50 local time on Friday, causing significant damage to a number of buildings and roads in the Southeast Asian country.

According to the Myanmar's State Administration Council on Sunday, about 1,700 people died, 3,400 were injured, and 300 remained missing in the massive earthquake.

Protests against federal immigration enforcement are spreading across the United States, with the latest demonstration unfolding directly in front of the White House.

Early Saturday, more than a hundred demonstrators gathered there, demanding changes to the Trump administration's immigration policies and accountability for recent shootings involving federal agents.

Immigrant rights and civil rights groups said this weekend's rallies mark a coordinated national response. Demonstrations are planned or already underway in major cities including Philadelphia, as well as across states such as North Carolina, Florida, Texas, and Washington, D.C., where organizers are calling for the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to be removed from local communities.

The nationwide protests follow a deadly week in which three people were shot by federal agents in two days.

In Minneapolis, Minnesota, a 37-year-old woman, Renee Good, was killed during an enforcement operation by the ICE. A day later in Portland, Oregon, a man and a woman were wounded during a separate federal operation.

In the aftermath, Minnesota state officials accused the Trump administration of blocking their investigation by denying access to key evidence and prematurely drawing conclusions before a full review could be completed.

On Friday, Donald Trump defended the Department of Homeland Security's actions, sharply criticizing Minnesota leaders and calling them corrupt.

Local leaders have pushed back. During a Saturday news conference, the mayor of Minneapolis described ICE agents' actions as reckless.

Officials in both Minneapolis and Portland continue urging demonstrators to remain peaceful as protests intensify nationwide.

According to a 50501 Movement statement issued Friday, at least 32 people died in ICE custody in 2025.
