Magnitude 6.4 Earthquake Strikes Mindanao in the Philippines

A magnitude 6.4 earthquake hit Mindanao, the Philippines' second-largest island, according to the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ).

GFZ said the quake occurred at a depth of 29 kilometers below the surface. The report did not provide any immediate details on damage, casualties, or whether there were follow-up tremors.

Mindanao is one of the country's largest and most populated islands, and earthquakes are common in the Philippines because it sits along the Pacific Ring of Fire. No further information was included in the report about the impact of this specific quake or emergency response measures.
