According to Rappler news agency, on the morning of February 10, an earthquake occurred in Mindanao, Philippines. Although there was no damage, experts predict there will be many aftershocks after the earthquake.
The German Center for Geoscience Research (GFZ) said the earthquake was 5,6 magnitude, while the Philippine seismological agency assessed the earthquake as 5,9 magnitude.
The earthquake interrupted search and rescue operations for dozens of people missing in a landslide caused by prolonged heavy rains in Maco town, in the southern province of Davao de Oro. The landslide occurred on the evening of February 6 outside a gold mine. To date, the number of deaths is 2, 28 are missing and 77 are injured.
In recent weeks, heavy rains have continuously poured down in many areas on the island of Mindanao, including the Philippines' Davao de Oro province, causing serious floods and landslides, forcing tens of thousands of people to take shelter in evacuation camps. .
