A dozen states have filed a lawsuit in the Court of International Trade, challenging President Trump’s tariff policy as unconstitutional and economically harmful.

The lawsuit claims that Trump's administration utilized the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to impose tariffs without a valid national emergency, bypassing Congress, which has tariff-setting authority, according to CNN.

Plaintiff states include Oregon, Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Maine, Minnesota, Nevada, New Mexico, New York, and Vermont.

White House spokesperson Kush Desai justified the tariffs, claiming they were required to handle a "national economic emergency ", CNN reported.

The Justice Department has yet to respond.

More than 150 people were injured in Istanbul on Wednesday when a powerful 6.2-magnitude earthquake, one of the strongest in recent years struck the city, causing widespread panic, Reuters reported.

The tremor, which struck Istanbul's European side, caused over 50 aftershocks and was felt as far away as Ankara, Turkey's capital, 275 miles distant. Many inhabitants fled in fear, with 151 hurt after jumping from buildings, though none are in severe condition.

Several earthquakes have struck Istanbul, but this one sounded particularly alarming. Scientists have long warned that a big earthquake might strike the city at any time, and incidents like this serve as sharp reminders of the city's constant vulnerability to its citizens, according to Reuters.

A Russian drone struck a bus transporting workers in eastern Ukraine, killing nine people and injuring more than 40, BBC reported.

The attack took place on Wednesday morning in the south-central city of Marhanets in the Dnipropetrovsk area, across the river from the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power station.

President Volodymyr Zelensky described it as "an egregiously brutal attack - and an absolutely deliberate war crime" against a "ordinary bus...clearly a civilian target."
He stated the majority of the injured were women who worked at a mining and processing company, according to BBC.

The strike came as top Trump officials withdrew from discussions in London between the UK, Europe, and Ukraine aimed at achieving a truce.
