Kumamoto fault footage, Colombia earthquake deaths, and Truth Social lawsuit

In Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan, security camera footage has captured the moment a fault line appeared during a recent earthquake in Yatsushiro City. The footage shows the ground shifting, creating a fault cliff with a height difference of over one meter and a lateral displacement of more than 20 meters. Experts state the video is of extremely high academic value for understanding earthquake mechanisms. Following the M7.1 quake, over 640 tremors of intensity 1 or higher have been recorded, and experts from Kyushu University warn that seismic activity remains active.

In Colombia, a magnitude 7.4 earthquake in the western region has resulted in at least 265 deaths and approximately 3,500 injuries. President Gustavo Petro has focused rescue efforts on the more than 500 people reported missing, though some databases suggest the number of missing could exceed 4,100. The Colombian government is declaring an economic state of emergency to fund reconstruction and is accepting international rescue teams from the US, Israel, Ecuador, and El Salvador.

In the United States, media outlets including The Intercept have filed a lawsuit against Truth Social. The legal action challenges a paid service that allows investors and traders to receive President Trump’s posts faster than the general public. The plaintiffs argue the service violates constitutional guarantees of equal access to official presidential announcements and describe the practice as “blatantly corrupt.”
