A major earthquake struck a coastal city early Saturday, causing widespread damage and triggering emergency evacuations as aftershocks rattled the region. Local authorities have reported collapsed buildings, disrupted power and water supplies, and an unclear death toll that is expected to rise.

Search and rescue teams are deployed across affected neighborhoods, with officials urging residents to avoid dangerous structures and stay clear of coastal areas vulnerable to tsunamis. Hospitals are overwhelmed with injured residents, prompting the establishment of temporary field clinics and international aid requests.

Prime Minister called for national unity and pledged swift relief, while neighboring countries offered humanitarian assistance and medical supplies. Weather forecasts predict continued tremors and possible rain, complicating rescue operations and widening the urgency for shelter and food distribution.
