A powerful 7.4-magnitude earthquake struck off the southern Philippines on Friday, killing at least six people and triggering tsunami warnings that were later lifted. The quake was followed by a 6.7-magnitude aftershock, and over 300 aftershocks were recorded in total. The earthquakes caused widespread panic, damage, and injuries, with several buildings sustaining cracks in their walls and power lines swaying wildly. The Philippine authorities issued tsunami warnings and ordered evacuations along the eastern seaboard, but the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center later lifted its alert. The earthquakes occurred just 11 days after a 6.9-magnitude quake killed 75 people in Cebu province.
