A 7.6-magnitude earthquake struck the southern Philippines, specifically the region of Mindanao, leading to panic and damage. The quake triggered a tsunami warning, later lifted, and caused significant damage, including to infrastructure. Aftershocks are expected. Evacuation orders were issued, and schools suspended classes. The Philippine president and energy secretary are assessing damage and monitoring power supply issues. The quake occurred just ten days after a deadly 6.9-magnitude earthquake in Cebu province.
