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.

U.S. President Donald Trump has signed an executive order to defund NPR and PBS, directing the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to cut federal funding to public media. The move could devastate local stations, especially in rural communities, and marks a major escalation in the administration’s ongoing battle with public broadcasters. The order also calls for investigations into potential bias and employment discrimination, sparking legal and political backlash.
