    Taiwanese President Urges Parliament to Fund Local Drone Industry

    Taiwan's President Tsai Ing-wen has urged lawmakers to swiftly approve nearly NT$60 billion ($1.9 billion) in additional funds to acquire locally made drones and promote the industry's autonomy. The funds will enable the Ministry of Defense to purchase from Taiwanese manufacturers and support independent sector development. Tsai made these remarks during the inauguration of facilities at the National Chung-Shan Institute of Science and Technology (NCSIST) and the start of construction on an aerospace and drone park in Minxiong, Chiayi County. The new NCSIST complex, built with an investment of over NT$1.1 billion ($35 million), will assume research, testing, and production tasks for military drones.

    El Niño Phenomenon: Peru Braces for Heavy Rains, Floods, and Landslides

    The National Service of Meteorology and Hydrology of Peru (Senamhi) and the Multisectoral Commission for the National Study of the El Niño Phenomenon (ENFEN) have warned about the potential impacts of the El Niño phenomenon on the country. The El Niño Costero is expected to last until autumn 2027, with the greatest impact due to overflows, ravines, and floods expected between December and the first months of 2027. The north coast, central coast, and northwestern highlands are expected to experience above-normal rainfall and punctual episodes of moderate to heavy rain. Senamhi predicts that the heaviest rains will concentrate mainly from Tumbes to Ica, with the possibility of rainfall exceeding historical values. The combination of a warm sea and an unstable atmosphere favors the formation of storms, which could occur more frequently and intensely from December. Air temperatures along the Peruvian coast are expected to remain well above their usual values, with a high probability of new thermal records being set.
