A major earthquake struck the coastal region early this morning, causing widespread damage to infrastructure and triggering emergency evacuations. Local authorities reported multiple casualties and are coordinating search-and-rescue efforts as aftershocks continue to disrupt relief operations.
In response, government agencies activated disaster response plans and mobilized military and civilian volunteers to assist in affected communities. Temporary shelters have been established, and hospitals are treating injured residents while assessing capacity.
Weather conditions and ongoing tremors have complicated rescue work, with authorities urging residents to stay clear of unstable structures and follow official guidance. International aid has begun to arrive, bringing essential supplies and medical teams to support the response.
