Massive earthquake hits Philippines; triggers Tsunami warning for Japan, Indonesia, and Malaysia

A powerful 7.6-magnitude earthquake struck Mindanao, Philippines, prompting a tsunami warning from the US tsunami warning system. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre anticipated tsunami waves reaching Philippines, Japan, Indonesia, Palau, and Malaysia. This follows a November 17 earthquake in southern Mindanao. Despite the intensity, there were no immediate casualties reported. Earthquakes are frequent in the Philippines, situated in the seismic 'Ring of Fire,' a belt of volcanoes encircling the Pacific Ocean prone to seismic activity. The current incident underscores the region's vulnerability to natural disasters and the need for preparedness.
