The earthquake struck off Sarangani province at 7:37 a.m on Monday. Authorities said at least 35 people were killed, 12 remain missing, and more than 200 were injured as buildings collapsed and landslides hit several areas in Mindanao.
The strongest reported shaking was in General Santos City. Tsunami warnings were raised in the Philippines and neighboring countries but were later lifted after waves measuring up to 1.4 meters were recorded in some coastal areas.
Classes in affected areas were suspended, while General Santos Airport temporarily halted operations, leading to the cancellation of 17 domestic flights. Several aftershocks, including one measuring magnitude 6.7, were also recorded. /edv
