Davao oriental: A powerful earthquake, initially measured at M7.6 (later revised to M7.4), struck off the coast of Davao Oriental in the southern Philippines (Mindanao) today.
According to Saudi Press Agency, the offshore tremor immediately prompted tsunami warnings for coasts up to 300 kilometers from the epicenter, with alerts expanding to include parts of Indonesia and Palau. Local authorities warned residents of significant aftershocks and urged coastal evacuation.
