MANILA, Aug 3, 2024 (BSS/AFP) - A 6.8-magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of the southern Philippines on Saturday, the United States Geological Survey said, but no tsunami warning was issued and there were no immediate reports of damage. Many people would have been sleeping when the strong shaking jolted them from their beds. It did not trigger a tsunami alert, according to the US Tsunami Warning System and the Philippine seismological agency. The local seismological agency also said no damage was expected from the earthquake, but it warned of aftershocks in the region. In December, a 7.6-magnitude quake struck off Mindanao, briefly triggering a tsunami warning.
