Philippines Latest Earthquake: Two powerful offshore earthquakes struck the same region in the southern Philippines hours apart on Friday.
The first one, a 7.4 magnitude quake in the morning, killed at least five people, set off landslides, damaged hospitals and schools and prompted evacuations of coastal areas nearby because of a tsunami warning, which was later lifted.
The second one had a preliminary 6.9 magnitude. Philippine Institute of Seismology and Volcanology chief Teresito Bacolcol said that Friday night’s earthquake that jolted Manay town in Davao Oriental province was caused by movement in the same fault line, the Philippine Trench, at a depth of 10 kilometers (6 miles).
It wasn’t immediately clear if it was a separate earthquake or an aftershock of the 7.4 magnitude quake.
