      Exclusive footage from China Global Television Network (CGTN) on Sunday revealed the devastating impact of the 7.7-magnitude quake in Myanmar, with widespread destruction seen in Mandalay, the country's second largest city located near the epicenter.

      Friday's violent quake reduced many buildings in Mandalay to rubble, forcing the affected locals to sleep in open air.

      The death toll had risen to 1,700, with 3,400 people injured and approximately 300 people missing, said the country's State Administration Council on Sunday.

      A total of 25 aftershocks had been recorded as of Sunday morning, with the magnitude ranging from 2.8 to 7.5.

      Official media outlets including Myanmar Radio and Television (MRTV) reported that rescue teams and relief supplies from China, India, Singapore, Russia and Thailand arrived in Myanmar between March 29 and March 30.

      Nurses, doctors and other medical personnel from foreign countries have been involved in the search and rescue mission, MRTV reported.

      Two cheerful giant panda cubs were caught on camera frolicking with colorful toys in a recently released video from a panda base in Sichuan province, southwest China.

      The video, captured at the Shenshuping base of the China Conservation and Research Center for Giant Pandas (CCRCGP), showcases two adorable cubs born to giant pandas Can Can and Xi Dou in 2024.

      The toys are part of the base's environmental enrichment program, aimed at boosting the pandas' behavior variety, promoting natural instincts, and supporting their physical and mental well-being.

      The CCRCGP is a world-leading institution for the breeding and conservation of giant pandas. A total of 13 giant panda cubs, including the two in the video, were born at the institution's bases last year.

      The center has established a global platform for promoting international cooperation and exchanges involving 18 zoos in 16 countries and regions, as well as 39 domestic animal breeding institutions and more than 10 research institutes.
