China: Nujiang River Rages in Yunnan, Torrents Sweep Through Area

This is the dangerous moment that the Nujiang River turned into a raging torrent, triggering a powerful flash flood after days of relentless rainfall. On May 31, 2025, in Nujiang Lisu Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan, the video showed the Nujiang River surging with muddy, turbulent water. Fueled by continuous heavy rain and intensified by orographic lift, the river’s water level rose sharply, unleashing a devastating mountain flood. Water tore through the region with alarming force, visibly inundating the riverbanks and sweeping away debris in its path. According to preliminary data, rainfall across the Nujiang River basin exceeded historical averages by more than four times. Along the Dulong River in particular, rainfall over a three-day span surpassed 300 millimeters, with some areas experiencing over 100 millimeters of downpour in just a short period. The severe flooding damaged roads, farmland, and communication infrastructure, effectively cutting off transportation to several villages. The video ended with torrents of floodwater continuing to rush downstream, leaving behind a landscape of destruction.

Italy's Leonardo and Turkey's Baykar announced on March 6, 2025,they were setting up a joint venture to produce unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), as defence companies scramble to respond to the surge in European military spending. The deal aims to address Europe's weakness in the drone industry and will take advantage of a European UAV market that the two companies estimated at $100 billion over the next 10 years.

Handout photo shows Bayraktar TB2, an unmanned fighter jet developed by The Baykar factory, one of the country's leading arms manufacturers in on February 14, 2025, in Istanbul, Turkey. Italy's Leonardo and Turkey's Baykar announced on March 6, 2025, they were setting up a joint venture to produce unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), as defense companies scramble to respond to the surge in European military spending. The deal aims to address Europe's weakness in the drone industry and will take advantage of a European UAV market that the two companies estimated at $100 billion over the next 10 years. Europe has a gap in unmanned technologies... and in complicated times like the one we are living in it is fundamental to guarantee global security," Leonardo Chief Executive Roberto Cingolani told a press conference. Baykar Chairman Selçuk Bayraktar, the son-in-law of Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan, said the deal was an "opportunity to build aerial supremacy", given drones' key role in the future.
