A newly-constructed 758-metre bridge in Sichuan province, southwestern China, collapsed just months after its inauguration. Authorities confirmed that no casualties were reported and that an investigation has been launched to determine the cause of the failure.
The bridge was intended to improve regional connectivity and boost local economic activity. Experts are closely monitoring the investigation, which raises concerns about construction standards and infrastructure safety in the region.
