BREAKING— A powerful earthquake has struck the Cordilian Sea, sending powerful tremors across Southern Cordilia. The Krauanagazan Geological Survey has confirmed that the quake’s magnitude exceeded 8.7, with its epicenter located along the West Continental Trench. Officials also report the caldera of Mount Alkantarak has collapsed, dramatically increasing the risk of a major volcanic eruption.
The KGS has issued a volcano warning for areas likely to be impacted by an eruption, and the Cordilian Institute of Geoscience has elevated the volcanic risk level to red, indicating that an eruption is imminent or underway. Authorities have issued urgent evacuation orders for high-risk areas, warning that pyroclastic flows, and ashfall could follow. The KGS has also issued a major tsunami warning for coastal areas and islands. Emergency response teams are mobilizing as the region braces for potentially devastating consequences.
