7.6 mag quake strikes off coast of Philippines; Tsunami warning issued

On Saturday, a robust earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 7.6 occurred off the southern Philippine coast, leading many residents to hastily evacuate their homes around midnight following a tsunami warning issued by Philippine authorities.

The quake occurred at a depth of 32 kilometers (20 miles), as reported by the U.S. Geological Survey. Initial assessments did not indicate significant damage or casualties.

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center initially anticipated tsunami waves affecting the southern Philippines, along with parts of Indonesia, Palau, and Malaysia, based on the magnitude and location.

However, the center later retracted its tsunami warning, the Associated Press reported.
