A powerful 7.8-magnitude earthquake struck Mindanao in southern Philippines, killing at least 30 people and triggering tsunami warnings across the region. The quake, the strongest to hit the country this year, struck offshore at a depth of 63 kilometres, causing buildings to collapse and landslides to bury entire communities. Dramatic videos showed terrified residents and schoolchildren scrambling for safety as the ground shook violently. Rescue teams are continuing search operations in the worst-hit areas, with authorities warning that the death toll could rise further. Located on the Pacific Ring of Fire, the Philippines remains highly vulnerable to major earthquakes and other natural disasters.
