A powerful 7.8-magnitude earthquake rocked the southern Philippines early Monday, shaking Mindanao near General Santos City and triggering tsunami warnings across regional coastlines. With a shallow 10-kilometer depth, authorities urged coastal residents to evacuate to higher ground as waves up to 3 meters loomed in the Philippines, with smaller surges possible in Indonesia and Malaysia. Though initial reports lacked damage or injuries, panic spread — even felt as far away as North Sulawesi in Indonesia. Aftershocks, including a 6.1-magnitude tremor, followed, while agencies like the USGS and PHIVOLCS noted typical reporting discrepancies. Thankfully, Hawaii and the U.S. mainland remained safe, but the quake’s impact rippled across the western Pacific.
