Magnitude 6.9 quake latest to rattle southern Philippines

MAN IS COLLAPSED WALL KILLS

Hazard officials told AFP earlier on Sunday that there have not yet been any reports of significant equipment or building damage.

A roof inside a 30-year-old man’s home collapsed on top of him, killing him in Bislig City, Surigao del Sur state, according to local disaster national Pacifica Pedraverde.

She claimed that even though some city roads were damaged by the earthquake and aftershocks, cars may also travel on them.

Without providing any specifics, the federal disaster agency reported that a pregnant woman was killed in Tagum City, Davao del Norte state.

About 100 kilometers northeast of Bislig, in Tandag City, two people were hurt slightly by falling debris, according to an official.

After the first earthquake on Saturday, the Spanish geosciences institute issued a “destructive tsunami” warning, anticipating “life-threatening” waves, but none materialized, and the warning eventually came to an end.

As far as Japan’s northeast Pacific beach, where a wave warning was also recently in effect, little swells were reported. There was no effects, according to the eastern Pacific archipelago Palau, which is about 900 kilometers off Mindanao.

The most recent earthquakes occurred about two months after Mindanao experienced a 6.7 magnitude earthquake that killed at least nine people, shook buildings, and partially collapsed the roof of one of its shopping centers.

The Philippines, which is located along the Pacific” Ring of Fire,” an episode of severe seismic and volcanic exercise that stretches from Japan through Southeast Asia and across thePacific lake, experiences earthquakes on a daily basis.

Most are very frail to get felt by people.
