🇵🇭 - Developing: A powerful earthquake struck off Mindanao in the southern Philippines on June 8 (local time).
Early magnitude estimates are being revised and currently sit around 8.2, according to the German Research Centre for Geosciences and the U.S. tsunami warning system — note that initial figures have shifted and remain preliminary.
The U.S. Tsunami Warning System has issued a tsunami threat.
No verified figures on casualties or damage are available yet.
Be cautious with numbers circulating now: some posts claim a magnitude as high as 9.0, but official agencies have not confirmed that, and some tsunami-warning details appear to be recycled from past Mindanao quakes.
Coastal residents in the affected zone should follow Phivolcs and local civil-defense evacuation instructions and move inland or to higher ground if told to.
