A powerful 7.4 magnitude earthquake struck Mindanao, Philippines, on October 10, 2025, at a depth of 58 km, prompting evacuations in coastal areas. President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. ordered authorities to assess damage and prepare search and rescue operations. The U.S.-based Pacific Tsunami Warning Center initially warned of waves up to 3m in the Philippines and up to 1m in Indonesia and Palau. Local media captured chaotic scenes outside hospitals in Davao City near the epicenter. The tsunami threat has now passed, and no major damage has been reported in Indonesia. Relief efforts continue.
