‘Maybe a handshake deal’: Trump’s AI pledge still thin on details
A major earthquake struck a densely populated coastal region today, causing significant damage to infrastructure and triggering widespread power outages. Emergency services reported at least dozens of fatalities and hundreds of injuries, with many buildings collapsed and roads blocked by rubble.

Rescue teams have been deployed across affected neighborhoods, prioritizing search-and-rescue for trapped residents and delivering supplies to displaced families. Authorities urged residents to stay away from damaged structures and to follow official guidance as aftershocks continue to threaten the area.

International aid agencies announced readiness to assist with medical care, temporary shelters, and engineering assessments, while local authorities declared a state of emergency to mobilize resources and coordinate response efforts.
