MANILA, Philippines — At least 32 people have been reported dead after a powerful 7.8-magnitude earthquake struck southern Philippines early Monday, causing widespread damage and sparking tsunami alerts across the region.
The earthquake’s epicentre was located off the coast near General Santos City in Mindanao. The strong tremor caused buildings to collapse, triggered landslides, and left thousands without electricity in several communities.
Among the structures reportedly damaged were commercial buildings and restaurants, while emergency crews continued search and rescue operations in the hardest-hit areas.
Authorities initially issued tsunami warnings for parts of the Philippines and neighbouring countries, including Indonesia and Malaysia. However, those alerts were later lifted after officials determined that the threat had passed.
Rescue teams, military personnel, and disaster response units have been deployed to assist affected residents and assess the extent of the destruction.
Officials are urging citizens to remain alert as strong aftershocks are expected in the coming days.
The Philippines is located along the Pacific Ring of Fire, a region known for frequent earthquakes and volcanic activity, making the country one of the most seismically active in the world.
