7.4 Magnitude Earthquake Hits Southern Philippines 🌊

A 7.4 magnitude earthquake struck off the southern coast of Philippines, prompting tsunami warnings from Philippine and Indonesian authorities.

Residents in coastal towns in central and southern Philippines were asked to evacuate as authorities warned of waves over a metre (3.3ft) above normal tide levels.

At least one person was killed in the earthquake on Friday morning, which also led to power cuts and classes being suspended in parts of the country.

The latest tremor comes just over a week after a 6.9 magnitude quake hit Philippine's central Cebu province, killing 74 people and injuring hundreds.
