An earthquake of 7.4 magnitude has occurred in the Mindanao region of the Philippines. After this earthquake, officials have issued a tsunami warning and have also expressed the possibility of aftershocks. According to the European-Mediterranean Seismological Center (EMSC), the depth of the earthquake was 62 kilometers (38.53 miles). The local administration has advised people living in coastal areas to move to higher places. Emergency services are on alert and citizens have been asked to follow government instructions.

The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) said that the first tsunami waves may arrive between 09:43:54 am to 11:43:54 am (PST) on October 10, 2025, and these waves may continue for several hours.

According to Phivolcs, waves can reach a meter or more above normal tidal level and even greater heights in closed bays or narrow waterways, according to the local tsunami scenario database.

The earthquake struck a maritime area near Manay town in Davao Oriental, prompting Phivolcs to warn of possible aftershocks and damage. At present no immediate damage has been reported.

Last week’s earthquake tragedy

Just before this, a 6.9-magnitude earthquake had struck the Philippines’ Cebu province, killing at least 74 people and injuring dozens. This earthquake also completely destroyed the historic Parish of Saint Peter the Apostle, Bantayan.

Earthquake tremors were felt on Monday (September 08, 2025) in India’s neighboring country Bhutan, which was measured at 4.2. According to the National Center for Sismology (NCS), the earthquake occurred at only 10 km depth, which leads to the possibility of afterchox. NCS reported that the earthquake came on 8 September 2025 at 11:15 am. Its center was at 26.89 north latitude of Bhutan and 91.71 pre -longitude.

Bhutan’s seismic threat
Bhutan is located in the young ranges of the Himalayas, which makes it seismically sensitive. According to the Indian Sismic Code, Bhutan Zone comes in IV and V, which is the most active seismic region of the country. There are many active fault lines in Bhutan, which poses a risk of large earthquakes.

Earthquake also occurred in China
Earlier on Sunday (September 07, 2025), there was a 4.1 magnitude earthquake in China. This earthquake was also recorded at a depth of 10 km, due to which there is a possibility of afterchock. Explain that low -depth earthquakes often cause more damage than deep earthquakes.

Increase in other natural hazards
In Bhutan, not only earthquakes, but also natural disasters like floods, strong winds, landslides, sudden floods and forest and structural fire are also increasing from the glacier lake. Seasonal changes have intensified due to climate change. The storms in 2011 and 2013 caused heavy damage in rural areas.

Responsibility of government and citizens
The Bhutan government and the local administration have advised people to be vigilant. Rescue operations are being intensified in view of possible afterchox. Experts are also suggesting that earthquake-resistant construction techniques should be adopted and all citizens should stay in safe places.
