On Saturday night, a 7.6 magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of the southern Philippines island of Mindanao. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center issued a tsunami warning for the area, and the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) warned of possible aftershocks and urged the public to take precautionary measures. This is the latest in a series of quakes that have struck the Philippines in recent months, and the government is working to assess the damage and provide assistance.
