5.0-Magnitude Earthquake Strikes Nepal Days After Myanmar Quake, Tremors Jolt Delhi-NCR Region [Video]

5.0-Magnitude Earthquake Strikes Nepal Days After Myanmar Quake, Tremors Jolt Delhi-NCR Region

A 5.0-magnitude earthquake hit Nepal on Friday, rattling the region just days after Myanmar’s deadly tremor. The earthquake, confirmed by the National Center for Seismology, caused tremors that were felt across Delhi-NCR, sparking panic among residents. Though no major damages were reported, the back-to-back seismic activity has raised concerns about increased tectonic stress in the region. With Myanmar and Thailand still reeling from devastation, Friday’s quake adds to a series of tremors shaking South Asia this week. Emergency teams are on alert as aftershocks remain a possibility. #NepalEarthquake #Earthquake2025 #DelhiTremors #SeismicActivity #SouthAsiaQuake #NepalNews #EarthquakeAlert #TremorsFelt #NaturalDisaster #EarthquakeNepal #NCS #DelhiEarthquake #EarthquakeWarning #QuakeUpdate #NepalTremor #DisasterPrep #EarthquakeSafety #MyanmarTragedy #QuakeResponse #TectonicShift Also Read Series of Earthquakes Jolt Nepal and Parts of North India - Strongest at Magnitude 6.2 :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/nepal-earthquakes-series-of-tremors-felt-in-north-india-gen-3650077.html?ref=DMDesc

Supreme Court STOPS Trump Use of 1798 Law to Deport Venezuelans |Clash Erupts Over Alien Enemies Act

In a stunning late-night decision, the U.S. Supreme Court has halted the Trump administration’s controversial plan to deport Venezuelan migrants under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 — a wartime law not used since WWII. The emergency ruling comes after civil rights groups warned of mass deportations at Texas detention centers, invoking fears of legal overreach and ethnic targeting. Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito dissented, setting the stage for a dramatic legal showdown. Is history repeating itself?
