A deadly run of events is shaping the day’s headlines, from the Andes to the Middle East. In Peru, twin earthquakes in the Junin region have killed at least five to six people, injured dozens and displaced hundreds, with adobe homes, churches and other buildings damaged as emergency crews search for the missing and assess the destruction. Far from South America, tensions have sharpened again after the United States launched strikes targeting Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, framing the operation as retaliation for the attack in Jordan that killed U.S. troops. Meanwhile in Miami, Andrew and Tristan Tate have been arrested on a sealed warrant as British authorities seek their extradition to face rape and trafficking-related charges in the UK. In a less violent but still consequential development, India has extended a narrow exemption for some solar projects, giving net-metering and open-access developers more time through the end of 2026.
