A powerful 7.6 magnitude earthquake struck Mindanao in the southern Philippines, prompting evacuation orders due to the risk of tsunami waves.
The Philippine Seismology Agency and the U.S. Tsunami Warning System issued alerts, with waves expected to hit the Philippines by midnight (4PM GMT) and reaching Japan’s southwestern coast around 1:30 AM (4:30PM GMT).
The Philippine authorities urged coastal residents to evacuate immediately while cautioning about potential aftershocks. Boats at sea were advised to stay offshore in deep waters.
