     A 5.2 magnitude earthquake jolted central Iran late Thursday, striking an area already on edge amid an intensifying conflict with Israel. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the quake hit at 9:19 pm local time, with the epicentre located about 23 miles (37 km) southwest of Semnan — roughly 210 km (130.5 miles) east of Tehran — at a shallow depth of six miles (10 km). Shallow earthquakes tend to cause more surface damage, and even a magnitude 5 tremor can lead to significant destruction, especially in densely populated or poorly constructed areas.   No damage reported No damage or casualties have been confirmed so far, according to Iranian media, though tremors were reportedly felt in the capital, Tehran.

The Pacers blitzed the Oklahoma City Thunder early Thursday night and never looked back en route to a 108-91 Game 6 win in the NBA Finals.

At a minimum, the win ensured there would be no Thunder championship celebration on Indiana's home court. And it puts the Pacers alongside the Thunder, one win away from an NBA championship in a winner-take-all Game 7 for the title. "We didn't want to see these guys celebrate a championship on our home floor," Haliburton said. Pacers put on a show in final home game With Haliburton ailing with a strained right calf that in part limited him to just four points and a Game 5 Pacers loss, few picked Indiana to win Thursday night. But few have picked the Pacers to reach multiple milestones in their ...
