A powerful earthquake measuring 6.3 magnitude has jolted parts of southern Philippines on Tuesday.
The shallow quake struck about 374 kilometres (232 miles) east of the island of Davao. There were no immediate reports of casualties or damage.
In a post on X, the National Center for Seismology posted the details of earthquake on X. It said, "EQ of M: 6.2, On: 24/06/2025 07:28:06 IST, Lat: 7.90 N, Long: 130.09 E, Depth: 10 Km, Location: East of Philippine Islands."
The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology, which reported the earthquake also cleared that no tsunami alert had been issued.
Philippines is located on the Pacific "Ring of Fire", an arc of intense seismic activity that stretches from Japan through Southeast Asia and across the Pacific basin. The quakes are a near-daily occurrence in the country.
The earthquakes of low intensity are too weak to be felt by humans, however strong and destructive quakes are difficult to predict and where they might strike.
The last major quake was recorded in July 2022. It was a magnitude 7 tremor that triggered landslides and ground fissures in the northern province of Abra, killing at least 11 people and injuring 609 others.
