Google Starts Pulling in Local News Stories in Google Maps with SOS Alerts

Looks like Google will start showing local new stories when they trigger an SOS warning in Google Maps and on SERPs, works on desktop and mobile. I was not able to trigger this from USA / Australia.

Appears on mobile as well – pic.twitter.com/KhtYYx9bov
