Vance: ‘No chance’ any Iran strikes would lead to long war in Middle East

A major earthquake struck a coastal region early Friday, collapsing several buildings and disrupting power lines. Rescue teams have been deployed, and authorities say the death toll is expected to rise as search efforts continue through the night.

Initial reports indicate widespread damage across multiple neighborhoods, with dozens of people reported missing. Emergency services are prioritizing access to affected areas, while temporary shelters have been established for displaced residents.

Authorities are urging calm and urging residents to follow safety advisories, including staying away from unstable structures and monitoring official channels for updates. International aid groups have offered assistance as crews assess infrastructure damage and transportation routes.
