King Charles smiled and waved to members of the public Friday as he left his home in London, the day after a brief hospitalization for the side effects from his cancer treatment.

A strong earthquake struck central Myanmar on Friday, and several buildings collapsed in Mandalay, the country's second-largest city, witnesses said. Buildings shook as well in Bangkok, the Thai capital about 1,000 km to the south, and hundreds of people rushed out in panic.

Russian President Vladimir Putin suggested Ukraine be placed under a form of temporary administration to allow for new elections and the signature of key accords to reach a settlement in the war, Russian news agencies reported early on Friday.

King Charles was hospitalized for 'a short period of observation' on Thursday after experiencing 'temporary side effects,'' related to a scheduled cancer treatment, Buckingham Palace said in a statement.
