One earthquake reported no casualties or major damage, while the other destroyed buildings.
Today, March 7, two strong earthquakes occurred in the southern Philippines. This was reported by France24.
The first earthquake of magnitude 6 struck a few kilometers from the municipality of Maragusan in the mountainous gold mining province of Davao de Oro on the island of Mindanao, according to the US Geological Survey. No casualties or major damage were reported.
A second 5.6 magnitude earthquake struck about three hours later in the neighboring municipality of New Bataan. It was reported that several houses were destroyed, and about 300 people were forced to leave their homes in the village of Andap.
About 100 people were also reportedly hit by glass and slabs at a shopping mall in Tagum, in the neighboring province of Davao del Norte, as they ran out of the building.
It will be remembered that in January of this year, strong earthquakes occurred off the coast of Indonesia and the Philippines.
Last fall, around 100 people died in the Philippines due to a typhoon.
