Residents in Davao City, southern Philippines, fled their homes after a powerful earthquake struck on Saturday. Evacuation orders were issued for certain areas, and tsunami warnings were issued for southwest Japanese coasts, with anticipated waves of 1 meter (3 feet) or more. The Philippine Seismology Agency (Phivolcs) stated that waves could hit the coast by midnight, yet there were no initial reports of significant damage. The Philippines, situated on the “Ring of Fire,” frequently experiences earthquakes due to its location along a seismic activity-prone belt of volcanoes encircling the Pacific Ocean.
