Earthquake Devastates Former Inmate's Hometown

Prisoner Returns to Find Aftermath of Catastrophic Quake

Thousands Homeless, Infrastructure Destroyed

A former inmate has returned home to a harrowing scene after a devastating earthquake ravaged his hometown. The man, identified only as Konstantin, was released from prison shortly before the earthquake struck, leaving him unaware of the destruction that had befallen his community.

"I couldn't believe my eyes when I arrived," said Konstantin. "The city was in ruins. Homes, businesses, everything had been destroyed." The earthquake, which registered a magnitude of 7.4, has left thousands homeless and caused widespread damage to infrastructure.

Relief workers are currently on the scene, providing assistance to those affected. However, the full extent of the damage is still being assessed, and it could take weeks or even months for the community to recover.
