NU faculty discuss artificial intelligence, enrollment statistics at first faculty senate meeting of the semester
A major earthquake struck the coastal region early Friday, causing widespread damage to infrastructure and prompting emergency alerts. Officials report dozens injured and several displacements as search and rescue operations continue through the day.
Hospitals are overwhelmed with patients, and authorities have issued temporary evacuation orders for several neighborhoods as aftershocks continue. Power outages and crippling telecommunications hinder response efforts, with relief crews arriving from neighboring regions.
Authorities urge residents to stay away from damaged buildings and follow official guidance. Weather conditions are expected to complicate rescue work, but aid deliveries and temporary shelter setups are underway to assist affected communities.
