At least two people have died in a 7.4 magnitude earthquake which struck the southeastern coast of the Philippines, initially prompting officials to issue advisory warnings to residents of coastal provinces to evacuate as they anticipate potential Tsunamis, however the warnings have now been dismissed.
The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology , or Phivolcs, said it was expecting damage and aftershocks from the earthquake, which was centred at sea about 62 kilometres southeast of Manay town in the Davao Oriental province and was caused by movement in a fault at a shallow depth of 10 kilometres.
