Philippines Earthquake | Massive 7.6 Magnitude Earthquake Hits Philippines, Tsunami Alert Issued
A powerful 7.6 magnitude offshore earthquake struck near the southern Philippines on Friday morning, prompting tsunami alerts and mass evacuations along coastal provinces. The quake, centered off Davao Oriental, was caused by shallow fault movement, raising the risk of hazardous waves up to 3 meters high. Authorities are bracing for aftershocks and possible damage, as the nation still reels from a deadly 6.9 quake in Cebu just weeks ago. The Philippines, located on the Pacific "Ring of Fire," remains one of the world's most disaster-prone countries.
