6.4-6.5 Magnitude Earthquake Strikes Southern Mindanao, Philippines; No Tsunami Alert
A strong earthquake measuring between 6.4 and 6.5 magnitude struck off southern Mindanao, Philippines, on Friday at depths ranging from 29 to 52.4 kilometers, according to the German Research Centre for Geosciences and the US Geological Survey. No immediate casualties, major damage, or tsunami warnings were reported. This event follows a deadly 7.8-magnitude quake in early June that killed over 80 people and caused widespread destruction. Authorities continue assessing the impact amid ongoing seismic activity in this tectonically active region along the Pacific Ring of Fire.
