US-born Olympian Eileen Gu on Vance criticism: ‘That’s sweet’

A sudden earthquake struck a coastal city, prompting emergency services to mobilize search and rescue teams as aftershocks rattled neighborhoods. Authorities report several buildings damaged and power outages affecting thousands, with at least a dozen confirmed injuries and no fatalities at this time.

Local officials have opened emergency shelters and issued advisories for residents to avoid coastal areas due to possible tsunamis. International aid agencies are coordinating with national responders to provide medical supplies, food, and temporary housing as crews assess structural integrity of affected infrastructure.

Weather agencies warn of continuing aftershocks in the coming days and urge residents to follow safety protocols, including sticking to open spaces and staying away from damaged structures. The government has promised a rapid assessment and a transparent update as more information becomes available.
