A powerful earthquake with a magnitude of over 7 has struck the Mindanao region in the southern Philippines. The quake’s epicenter was located offshore near Davao Oriental, prompting immediate warnings from authorities. The Philippines cosmology agency has issued a tsunami warning and strongly advised residents in coastal areas to evacuate to higher ground. According to agencies, “hazardous tsunami waves are possible for coasts located within 300 kilometer of the earthquake at the center”. The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology specified the quake occurred at a depth of 10 kilometers off Manay town. As officials attempt to move people to safety, the governor of the Davao province noted that residents are panicked. Aftershocks are also a concern following the major seismic event.
