An earthquake of 6.1 magnitude was recorded in the Mindanao region on Friday (October 17, 2025), which was confirmed by the German Research Center for Geosciences (GFZ). A week ago, a massive 7.5 magnitude earthquake occurred in the Mindanao region of the Philippines, which shook the entire area. Now this shock of 6.1 magnitude has been recorded in the same area, due to which the local people are in panic. According to the European-Mediterranean Seismological Center (EMSC), this earthquake occurred at a depth of 62 kilometers.

The center of earthquake was 11 km deep from the earth

According to the USGS, the center of this powerful earthquake came at a depth of 11 kilometers under water in the city of Bohol province of the Philippines and it can cause heavy shocks in addition to the local tsunami. However, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center has clarified that there is no threat of tsunami from this earthquake and no action is needed.

Philippines is located on Pacific Rings of Fire, earthquakes come daily

Almost everyday earthquake tremors are felt in the Philippines, as the Philippines is located on the Pacific Rings of Fire, which is a earthquake active area from Japan to South-East Asia and Pacific Ocean. However, USGS initially stated the intensity of the earthquake 7.0, but later reduced it to 6.9.

Earthquake tremors usually do not feel

Most of the earthquake tremors in the Philippines are so weak, which humans are usually not felt. But sometimes suddenly powerful and destructive earthquakes occur, due to which there is a possibility of destruction. However, despite having so much technology in today’s time, it is not possible to predict when and where the earthquake is coming from.
