Early this morning, a devastating 7.4 magnitude earthquake jolted the Mindanao region in the southern Philippines, sending shockwaves through coastal communities. Tsunami warnings were swiftly issued, leading to mass evacuations as authorities brace for potential waves.
The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) reports the epicenter off the coast, with no confirmed deaths so far but widespread infrastructure concerns. Aftershocks are expected, and residents are advised to avoid low-lying areas.
Global Support: Organizations like the Red Cross are mobilizing aid, joined by allies from Japan and Australia. Travelers: Monitor FAA and local advisories for disruptions.
