Philippines Struck by Magnitude 6.2 Earthquake, Tremors Felt in Manila
A deep 6.2-magnitude earthquake struck the Philippines early Thursday, the US Geological Survey said.
The quake struck near Hukay, southwest of the capital city Manila, at a depth of 112 kilometres at 10:00 AM local time.
Although there were no immediate reports of casualties or damage, Philippine authorities have warned that there may be aftershocks and potential damage. Assessments are still ongoing.
The state seismological agency ruled out the possibility of tsunami waves due to the tremor’s depth.
