A powerful 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck the southern Philippines on Monday morning, killing at least three people and injuring five others. The quake hit Mindanao Island at 7:40 a.m. local time, according to the United States Geological Survey. At least 37 buildings, mostly commercial structures, were damaged. Following the initial tremor, 138 aftershocks were recorded, ranging in magnitude from 1.3 to 6.7.
Tsunami warnings were issued across the region, including in the Philippines, Indonesia, and Japan. The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology reported tsunami waves in six areas of Mindanao and confirmed that the tsunami alert remained in effect. Philippine President Marcos urged residents to move to higher ground immediately after the quake, while Japanese Prime Minister Sanade Takachio called on citizens to follow tsunami advisories.
Authorities continue to monitor the situation as aftershocks persist and coastal areas remain under alert for potential tsunami impacts.
