‘Horrifying’: Hollywood blasts Trump’s role in studio sale
A major earthquake struck off the coast early Thursday, triggering tsunami warnings and prompting evacuations across several coastal towns. Local authorities reported significant damage to infrastructure and numerous road closures as emergency services rush to affected areas.
In the wake of the quake, governments urged residents to stay away from damaged buildings and follow official guidance while search and rescue teams deployed to assess casualties and secure neighborhoods. Temporary shelters were opened to accommodate displaced families, with aid groups coordinating food, water, and medical supplies.
Meteorological agencies lifted the highest tsunami alerts in some regions as waves subsided, but officials warned of possible aftershocks. The international community pledged rapid humanitarian assistance, and airports and ports implemented security checks to expedite relief shipments.
