一 | Mexico City, Oct 11 (UNI) The impact of Hurricane Julia, ravaging Central America since the weekend, has prompted the Guatemalan government to declare a state of emergency, President Alejandro Giammattei said on Tuesday.

Tropical cyclone Julia made landfall in Nicaragua on Sunday morning as a Category 1 hurricane. Then it weakened to a tropical storm and is now moving along the coast of Guatemala into the waters of Mexico. Hurricane Julia brought not only heavy rains but also life-threatening flash floods and deadly mudslides.

"Today, the Council of Ministers made the decision to declare a state of emergency. The corresponding order will be sent for approval to the Congress," Giammattei said on social media.

The hurricane brought Guatemala floods and landslides which inflicted damage on infrastructure such as bridges, highways and power lines. It killed five people and left another two missing in the central region of La Libertad.

Emergency services in Guatemala say that the hurricane has directly affected over 153,000 people, more than 1,300 were evacuated from their homes, of which over 1,000 are now housed in temporary shelters. Almost 500 residential buildings received medium and serious damage.

UNI/SPUTNIK GNK。 (ECNS) -- China's Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) announced on Wednesday a decision to take countermeasures against six U.S. entities, effective immediately. The move came in response to recent U.S. sanctions against Chinese companies under the pretext of so-called "forced labor," which China says seriously violates international law and the basic norms of international relations, and gravely undermines China's sovereignty, security and development interests. The six entities were placed on China's countermeasure list for "assisting and supporting the United States in imposing illegal sanctions related to Xinjiang," according to a MOFCOM statement. All organizations and individuals within China are prohibited from engaging in any transactions, cooperation or other related activities with the six entities. The six U.S. entities subject to the countermeasures are: 1. Applied DNA Sciences, Inc. 2. Stratum Reservoir, LLC. 3. Altana Technologies, Inc. 4. Responsible Business Alliance 5. Verite Group, Inc. 6. Human Rights in China The decision was issued as MOFCOM Order No. 2 of 2026 and approved by China's national coordination mechanism for countering foreign sanctions.
