A powerful 7.2-magnitude earthquake struck off the Pacific island nation of Tonga on Friday.
According to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the earthquake struck near Tonga in the South Pacific Ocean.
US monitoring agencies said despite the intense tremor, no tsunami warning was issued.
The United States Geological Survey said that the earthquake struck shortly after 7:00 am local time at a depth of 167 kilometres some 290 kilometres southwest of the capital Nuku'alofa.
In New Delhi, Union Minister Piyush Goyal’s remark labeling many Indian startups as mere “dukaandars” has sparked intense debate. Startup founders, tech leaders, and citizens voiced their take on whether India’s startup ecosystem should focus on consumer delivery apps or pivot to deep tech innovation. Zepto's Aadit Palicha, Ashneer Grover, and others have weighed in. While some support Goyal’s vision of India as a tech leader, others argue that consumer platforms also drive growth and jobs. Oneindia News captures diverse opinions from India’s capital.

A terrifying video captures the heart-stopping moment a Los Angeles firefighter is swept off Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) by a massive Malibu Landslide and into the raging Pacific Ocean. Watch the terrifying Los Angeles Firefighter Swept Malibu Landslide. The footage, taken during Thursday’s catastrophic storm, shows the firefighter’s LAFD vehicle engulfed by a powerful debris flow near Big Rock Drive in Malibu, as torrents of mud, water, and rocks rush down the hillside. Miraculously, the firefighter managed to escape before being rescued and transported to a local hospital with minor injuries.
