An earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 7.6 struck Saturday off the coastline of the southern Philippines island of Mindanao. A tsunami warning was issued.
The quake struck at 10:37 p.m. and was measured at a reasonable depth of 32 kilometers (20 miles).
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Heart claimed based mostly on the magnitude and area it expected tsunami waves to strike the southern Philippines and pieces of Indonesia, Palau and Malaysia.
A Philippine governing administration agency recommended the citizens of Surigao Del Sur and Davao Oriental provinces on the eastern shores of Mindanao to promptly evacuate to higher grounds or move inland.
