A powerful magnitude 7.8 earthquake struck off the coast of Mindanao, triggering tsunami alerts and emergency evacuations across parts of the southern Philippines. Authorities reported tsunami waves of up to one meter reaching sections of the coastline, prompting residents in vulnerable areas to move to higher ground. Emergency teams were deployed as sirens sounded and coastal communities prepared for possible larger waves. While the tsunami impact appears lower than some initial forecasts, officials continue assessing damage from the earthquake itself. The quake was felt across a wide area, raising concerns about aftershocks and ongoing risks to affected communities.
