A 6.6 magnitude earthquake struck the Philippines' island of Mindanao, sending people scrambling as it shook buildings and disrupted power supply. At least two people were reported dead
- The death toll from a strong earthquake in the southern Philippines has risen to seven, disaster and police officials said on Tuesday, as aftershocks continued to jolt many parts of Mindanao.
The 6.6 magnitude quake hit early on Tuesday, damaging buildings, toppling power lines and triggering landslides in the central area of the Philippines’ southern island. Authorities said the death toll could rise further because many injured were not immediately brought to hospitals. Smaller tremors rattled nervous residents throughout the day and those who were afraid to return to their homes set up tents to shelter near school yards, Espadera said.
