Chinese naval hospital ship conducts rescue drill in Yellow Sea

Chinese naval hospital ship "Auspicious Ark" recently conducted a multi-element, full-process medical rescue drill in the Yellow Sea to test its overall training effect and hone the crew's ability to carry out various medical rescue tasks.

The "Auspicious Ark," with its hull number as 868, is the third 10,000-tonne-class ocean-going hospital ship independently designed and built by China.

The medical team involved in this drill included key experts from multiple departments, such as internal medicine, surgery, emergency care and critical care.

Upon receiving a distress signal, the ship immediately headed for a designated drill area to conduct relevant operations.

At the drill site, the rescue team urgently transferred the injured personnel to the triage area for rapid assessment and examination. They performed first aid measures such as hemostasis, bandaging, and cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The medical team also activated various treatment plans based on the severity of the injury and quickly prepared for surgery.

In addition to the drill, the ship also conducted a medical consultation event, providing diagnosis, treatment, and healthcare services to grassroots officers and soldiers.

"The 'Auspicious Ark' hospital ship is equipped with advanced equipment, and it has comprehensive functions. Military hospitals can leverage the ship's advantage as a natural platform to provide specialized medical services. Wherever the hospital ship goes, it delivers high-quality healthcare services to that location," said Dai Zhenfeng, a crew member of the ship.

Hungarians voted in parliamentary elections on Sunday, with about 8.1 million people eligible to cast ballots, according to the National Election Office.

Polls opened at 06:00 local time and closed at 19:00, with initial results expected late on Sunday evening.

Of the total, about 7.6 million voters were eligible to cast ballots in person at more than 10,000 polling stations nationwide, while some 500,000 were eligible to vote by mail.

Five parties or alliances are competing in the election. The latest opinion polls showed strong support for both Prime Minister Viktor Orban's ruling Fidesz-Christian Democratic People's Party alliance and the opposition Tisza party led by Peter Magyar.

Among smaller parties, the far-right Our Homeland Movement is seen as having a chance to enter parliament, while others, including the Democratic Coalition and the Hungarian Two-Tailed Dog Party, are widely viewed as unlikely to cross the threshold.

This election marks Orban's fourth parliamentary race since returning to power in 2010, with the outcome set to determine whether he can secure a fifth consecutive term.

Under Hungary's electoral law, parliamentary elections are held every four years. The Hungarian parliament has 199 seats, including 106 filled through direct elections in single-member constituencies and 93 allocated to parties that enter parliament. The party or alliance that secures a majority of seats has the right to form a government.
