A powerful 7.5 magnitude earthquake has struck the Mindanao region of the Philippines, resulting in at least one fatality and prompting tsunami warnings for coastal areas. The quake occurred at a depth of 58 kilometers, leading to school closures and emergency response measures.

A significant earthquake measuring 7.5 in magnitude has struck the southern Philippines, causing at least one confirmed death and triggering tsunami warnings along the nation's eastern and southern coastlines. The powerful tremor originated off the eastern coast of Mindanao Island at 9:43 AM local time Friday, according to data from the United States Geological Survey.

The earthquake occurred at a depth of 58.1 kilometers (36 miles), with initial magnitude readings of 7.6 later revised downward to 7.5 by the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology. Local media confirmed one fatality in the Mindanao area as emergency services began assessing the full extent of damage. The quake's substantial depth likely mitigated more severe ground shaking, though the region remains on high alert.

Philippine authorities immediately issued tsunami alerts for vulnerable coastal communities in eastern and southern regions, advising residents to remain vigilant for potential tsunami waves. In response to the seismic event, the Davao City government suspended classes across all educational levels in both public and private institutions to facilitate structural safety evaluations and damage assessment of school facilities and infrastructure.

The Philippine earthquake was followed by a separate seismic event in Papua New Guinea, where a 6.0 magnitude quake struck 144 kilometers south-southeast of Lorengau town in Manus province. This secondary tremor occurred at 0208 GMT at a relatively shallow depth of 10 kilometers, though no immediate damage reports emerged from that incident. The Philippines, situated along the Pacific Ring of Fire, regularly experiences significant seismic activity due to complex tectonic plate interactions.
