PHIVOLCS: No tsunami threat following 6.6-magnitude quake in Cotabato

(Eagle News)–There is no tsunami threat to the Philippines, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology said. PHIVOLCS issued the advisory after a 6.6-magnitude quake hit Tulunan, Cotabato at 9:04 a.m. The quake took place days after a 6.3-magnitude earthquake struck the province. That earthquake left at least five people dead and several injured. According to PHIVOLCS, Tuesday’s earthquake was the same as the 6.3-magnitude one. “Ang epicenter nito ay sa lupa,” PHIVOLCS said.
