The Philippines was shaken late Monday by a powerful earthquake with a reported magnitude of 6.9, striking near the country’s Bohol and Leyte provinces.
The tremor hit at a shallow depth of around 10 kilometers, according to the US Geological Survey, sending strong shaking across multiple islands.
While no casualties or major damage have been confirmed so far, local authorities are urging vigilance as aftershocks and minor sea disturbances remain a possibility.
