A powerful offshore earthquake struck the southern Philippines on Friday morning, triggering tsunami warnings across parts of Southeast Asia and leaving at least two people dead, officials said.
The 7.4-magnitude tremor hit at 9.43am local time (01.43am GMT) in waters off Manay town in Davao Oriental province, at a depth of about 23km, according to the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs). The agency said aftershocks were expected.
