U.S. moves toward Vietnam diplomacy via liaison office
The United States will open a liaison office in Hanoi and exchange low level diplomats, a step toward fuller ties but not full recognition.

Aftershock rattles Kobe amid quake recovery struggles
A mild aftershock of magnitude 3.0 hit central Kobe six miles underground in Hyogo, jolting already unstable buildings after last week’s 7.2 quake. Officials report no immediate damage but thousands face housing shortages as 37,000 apply for 2,700 temporary units. Refugees crowd shelters, influenza risk rises, and government aid faces criticism for slow, cabinet turf battles amid limited foreign assistance.

U.S. military provided transportation, medical aid, road clearing, rubble removal, power, and mass casualty care. Louisiana sent 40000 pounds of rice, but officials cited Japan’s own supplies.
