Overview
- A magnitude 6.7 earthquake struck offshore Mindanao, Philippines, the U.S. Geological Survey recorded the event and Philippine officials reported no deaths or major damage.
- Peru’s navy hydrographic service (DHN) assessed the Mindanao quake and concluded it did not meet conditions to generate a tsunami for the Peruvian coast.
- Mexico’s Servicio Sismológico Nacional logged a cluster of low‑magnitude quakes concentrated in Oaxaca, Chiapas, Guerrero and Colima, with the largest at magnitude 3.9 and no significant damage reported.
- Authorities note some Mexican quakes were very shallow, which can make a small quake feel stronger, and Mexico’s SASMEX system requires larger or closer events to trigger a public alert.
- Officials across the region are maintaining continuous monitoring, urging the public to follow official channels for verified updates and to keep basic preparedness steps ready in case conditions change.
