A significant earthquake measuring 8.2 magnitude struck Mindanao in the Philippines, with a depth of 10 km. The German Research Centre for Geosciences reported the quake, which has led to tsunami warnings for coastal regions. The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology indicated that tsunami waves could exceed one meter above normal levels, particularly in enclosed bays and straits. Authorities have urged residents in coastal areas, including Sarangani, Davao Occidental, Tawi-tawi, Sulu, Basilan, Zamboanga Del Sur, Zamboanga Sibugay, Sultan Kudarat, and South Cotabato, to evacuate to higher ground promptly. The first tsunami waves are expected to arrive between 07:37 am and 09:37 am PST, with the potential for continued wave activity for hours. In addition, New Zealand's National Emergency Management Agency is assessing whether the earthquake may affect its coastlines. Residents are advised to remain vigilant as the situation develops.
