Mark Kelly to attend Trump State of the Union address: ‘I feel it’s my obligation’

A major earthquake struck a coastal region early this morning, causing widespread structural damage and disruptions to power and communications. Local authorities reported dozens of fatalities and hundreds of injuries, with emergency crews prioritizing rescue operations and shelter for displaced residents.

Towns nearest the epicenter have been hit hardest, with several streets blocked by collapsed buildings and gas leaks. Aid agencies are mobilizing relief supplies, while neighboring regions have dispatched emergency teams and medical aid to support overwhelmed hospitals.

Officials warned of potential aftershocks and urged residents to stay clear of unstable structures, seek high ground in flood-prone areas, and follow official updates as search and recovery efforts continue.
