South Korea Fired Warning Shots After North Korean Soldiers Crossed Demarcation Line

A symbol of hope in Colombia has tragically passed away, as Daniela Largo, 32, died from injuries sustained after being trapped for nearly 37 hours under rubble following a powerful earthquake. Largo was rescued on Tuesday in the city of Pereira to widespread relief, becoming a beacon of survival for a nation grappling with the aftermath of Monday's devastating 7.4 magnitude quake. Her death on Friday, however, casts a somber shadow over ongoing rescue operations, diminishing the already fading chances of finding more survivors among the hundreds still missing. The earthquake has claimed at least 294 lives and injured nearly 4,000 people, with authorities reporting at least 320 individuals unaccounted for. In the hardest-hit areas, rescue teams, visibly fatigued after days of relentless work, are using heavy machinery to clear debris. "We're going to stay until the last person is recovered," firefighter corporal Javier Jimenez told AFP. Meanwhile, Colombia's new president, Abelardo de la Espriella, who took office on August 7 and received support from U.S. President Donald Trump, held a phone call with Trump. De la Espriella sought a temporary suspension of U.S. tariffs, which were recently increased, to provide economic relief during the country's reconstruction phase. He highlighted that suspending tariffs would significantly help Colombian businesspeople facing immense difficulties due to the earthquake's impact. The U.S. has pledged $26.5 million in aid and sent rescue teams, with Israel also providing humanitarian assistance and rescuers. The scale of destruction is immense, with over 14,000 homes collapsed, and reconstruction in the most affected cities expected to cost millions. President De la Espriella plans to declare a state of economic emergency to expedite reconstruction efforts.
