An earthquake of magnitude 8.2 has struck Mindanao in the Philippines, the German Research Centre for Geosciences has said. It was measured at a depth of 10km (6.2 miles) and has prompted the US Tsunami Warning System to issue a tsunami threat.

An earthquake of magnitude 8.2 struck Mindanao in the Philippines on Monday (Jun 8), the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) said. The quake was at a depth of 10km, GFZ said. GFZ earlier pegged the earthquake at 7.3. The US Tsunami Warning System issued a tsunami threat to the earthquake.

An earthquake of magnitude 8.2 struck Mindanao in the Philippines on Monday, according to the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ). Initially reported at magnitude 7.3, the quake occurred at a depth of 10 km (6.2 miles). The U.S. Tsunami Warning System has issued a tsunami threat in response to this powerful seismic event. Local authorities and emergency services are on high alert as they assess the impact and prepare for possible aftershocks and tsunamis that could threaten coastal regions.

Authorities issued urgent tsunami warnings after a powerful magnitude 8.2 earthquake struck near Mindanao in the southern Philippines on Sunday, triggering concerns over potentially destructive waves and widespread aftershocks. The German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) reported that the earthquake occurred at a shallow depth of 10 kilometres, a factor that can significantly increase the potential for surface damage and tsunami generation. Reuters cited that in the immediate aftermath of the quake, the United States Tsunami Warning System issued a tsunami threat advisory, warning that hazardous sea level fluctuations could affect coastal areas. The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) cautioned that tsunami waves exceeding one metre above normal tide levels could strike affected coastlines following the powerful tremor. The agency also warned residents and local authorities to prepare for possible structural damage and a series of aftershocks that commonly follow major seismic events. Officials continued to monitor the situation closely as emergency agencies assessed potential impacts on coastal communities across the southern Philippines and neighbouring areas. No immediate reports of casualties or extensive damage were available at the time of reporting.

Residents in parts of Sabah, including Tawau and Semporna, reported feeling tremors after a powerful earthquake struck near Mindanao in the southern Philippines this morning. Malaysia’s Meteorological Department (MetMalaysia) said the earthquake occurred at 7.37am, with a magnitude of 7.9 and a depth of 50km. The epicentre was located at coordinates 5.7° North and 125.1° East, about 97km south of Koronadal City in the Philippines. Tremors were reportedly felt in Tawau, Semporna and surrounding areas.

A powerful earthquake measuring 8.2 in magnitude shook waters near Mindanao in the southern Philippines on Monday, with tremors felt through the region and triggering urgent tsunami warnings. According to the German Research Centre for Geosciences, the tremor was strong enough to trigger alerts across a wide stretch of the western Pacific, raising immediate fears for coastal regions.
