In the wake of a powerful earthquake that shook Taiwan on Wednesday morning, government officials have reported a grim tally: 9 confirmed deaths, over 800 injured, and 127 individuals still trapped as of 4:30 p.m.
"Unfortunately at 1:25 am the rescue team reached the spot where they were looking for Julen and found the lifeless body of the little one," the central government's representative in the southwestern region of Andalusia, Alfonso Rodriguez Gomez de Celis, wrote on Twitter.
"My condolences to the family. RIP," he added.
The first schoolboys have emerged from a flooded Thai cave after divers launched a daring and dangerous mission to rescue the children and their soccer coach, who have been trapped underground for more than two weeks, a Thai official said.
