Severe tornadoes swept through parts of Kentucky and Missouri, leaving at least 25 people dead and causing extensive damage.
A series of powerful tornadoes struck the U.S. Midwest, specifically Kentucky and Missouri, resulting in the loss of at least 25 lives and significant injuries. Kentucky officials reported 18 fatalities, while Missouri recorded seven deaths.
Missouri officials reported that tornadoes damaged 5,000 buildings, destroyed roofs, and brought down power lines. Kentucky also reported severe injuries, with efforts underway to locate survivors in hard-hit zones. National Weather Service data showed the tornado touched down near Forest Park in St. Louis, causing structural damage, including the partial collapse of Centennial Christian Church, where one person died.
Officials noted that tornadoes also affected neighboring Illinois, with the risk of additional severe weather stretching eastward to the Atlantic coast.
Authorities warned the death toll could rise as search and rescue efforts continued in affected regions.
