Western Philippines experiences 5.0 quake
A 5.0 magnitude earthquake struck western Philippines at a depth of 65 kilometers, according to the United States Geological Survey. Meanwhile, a 7.8 magnitude quake occurred the day before yesterday in the southern part of the country, leading to 41 deaths and over 450 injuries, with ongoing search and rescue operations in landslide-affected areas. The Philippines is situated on the Pacific Ring of Fire and is regularly exposed to earthquakes and volcanic tremors. The recent Mindanao earthquake was among the strongest in recent decades and serves as a reminder of major quakes that have triggered tsunamis, resulting in significant human and material losses.
