Trump ‘not thrilled’ with Iran talks; say no final decision made on strikes

A major earthquake struck the coastal region early Monday, causing widespread damage and triggering evacuation orders across several cities. Local authorities report multiple casualties and ongoing search-and-rescue efforts as aftershocks continue to rattle the area.

Emergency teams are coordinating with neighboring prefectures to provide medical supplies, temporary shelters, and water distribution to affected residents. Power outages and disrupted communications are hampering first responders, while GPS-based alerts help guide residents to safe zones.

Economy and transportation are notably disrupted, with several highways closed and ports suspended as crews inspect infrastructure. Government officials urged calm, promised rapid aid, and outlined a prioritized framework for reconstruction and housing assistance.
