Weather Watch: NWS also reports a dry pattern continuing across the Marianas, with limited rainfall and a moderate risk of rip currents. Philippines Earthquake & Tsunami Monitoring: A powerful 7.8 quake struck Mindanao, killing at least 15 and injuring hundreds, while tsunami alerts triggered Pacific-wide monitoring that includes Micronesia. Regional Diplomacy: Qatar and the FSM have forged diplomatic ties via a joint statement signed at the UN in New York. Sports & Community: Registration is open for Mall Ball 3x3 at Micronesia Mall, running June through August with high school, adult/open, and middle school tournaments.
