According to the U.S. Geological Survey, a magnitude 7.7 earthquake occurred 39 kilometers northwest of Tonosi in southern Panama, causing damage to buildings and other damage. At one point, it was announced that there was a risk of a tsunami along the coast of Panama, Ecuador, Mexico, and Peru, but the warning was later lifted. The Japan Meteorological Agency has hinted at the possibility of sea level changes along the coast of Japan, but says there is no fear of damage.

On the 9th, the US government designated the International Criminal Court (ICC) as a target of sanctions. The Trump administration accused the ICC of threatening U.S. sovereignty, and the sanctions barred the ICC from doing business with U.S. companies and excluded it from dollar-denominated payments, but a 180-day grace period was set in place.

US President Trump spoke by phone with Russian President Vladimir Putin and announced that Russia had agreed to immediately supply more than 300,000 tons of diesel oil to the US and international markets. The US Treasury Department announced that it has temporarily eased some sanctions against Russia, allowing the sale and export of Russian-produced diesel oil. Russia will supply 500,000 tons by the end of November this year, and an additional 1 million tons thereafter, and will deliver another 3 million tons based on the operational status of its oil refinery facilities.

One year has passed since the start of the Israeli army's military operations in the Gaza Strip, and even after a ceasefire was agreed, the Israeli army continues to occupy about 70% of the area, making no progress in reconstruction, and the remaining 30% of the population, about 2 million people, are forced to live in tents. Akihiro Kiyota, director of UNRWA's Health Department, expressed a sense of crisis in Gaza, saying, ``Gaza is no longer a place where people can live,'' as medical shortages and sanitary conditions continue to worsen, and malnutrition and infectious diseases remain unresolved.

On the 9th, the US government designated the International Criminal Court (ICC) as a target of sanctions. This announcement came just hours after Navi Pillay, former United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. The Trump administration has objected to the ICC's decision, citing the threat of indicting American soldiers, and Secretary of State Rubio stressed, ``Either the ICC stops threatening us, or we will end the ICC.'' The sanctions prohibit the ICC from doing business with U.S. companies and barring them from making dollar-denominated payments, but there is a 180-day grace period.
