A powerful 7.5-magnitude earthquake struck the southern Philippines near Davao Oriental early today. The tremor damaged buildings, caused power outages, and prompted temporary tsunami warnings along coastal areas. Hundreds of residents were evacuated from towns such as Manay, Tagum, and Governor Generoso as aftershocks continued. Authorities deployed rescue teams, engineers, and military units to assess damage and assist affected communities. Although the situation remains tense, officials report gradual stabilization and widespread public cooperation in recovery efforts.
