A 6.2-magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of the southern Philippines on Monday afternoon, according to the US Geological Survey. There were no immediate reports of damage or casualties.
A 6.2-magnitude earthquake struck off the southern Philippines on Monday at approximately 13:00 Jerusalem time, according to the US Geological Survey (USGS). The quake's epicenter was located offshore, and no tsunami warning has been issued.
The event comes amid heightened seismic activity across the Philippine region in recent days. As The Zioneer previously reported, a series of larger earthquakes — including a magnitude-8 event last week — struck near Mindanao, killing dozens and triggering tsunami warnings across several countries. Monday's 6.2-magnitude tremor is considerably weaker and occurred farther offshore, and there are no initial reports of casualties or structural damage.
Local authorities have not yet issued any public alerts or evacuation orders in connection with this event.
