A strong earthquake hit the Philippines

Tremors were felt in the capital Manila, causing subway trains to stop.

A magnitude 7.0 earthquake shook the island of Luzon in the Philippines. On Wednesday, July 27, TASS reports in connection with the data of the Institute of Volcanology and Seismology of the country.

The epicenter of the tremors was located 3 kilometers northeast of the municipality of Tayum in the province of Abra, whose population exceeds 14.8 thousand people. The hearth is at a depth of 17 kilometers.

Tremors of varying intensity were felt in several areas of the province, as well as in Manila, resulting in the suspension of metro train services for a short time.

Experts do not rule out the possibility of repeated earthquakes. Right now, two more weak aftershocks of magnitude 2.1 were recorded in the neighboring municipality of Dunglas.

According to local media, in the province of Benguet, located 200 km from the epicenter of the earthquake, a builder died, where fragments of a building collapsed due to the impact of the elements.

There is still no official information about victims and damage. At the same time, pictures of rickety houses, fallen trees and damaged roads in different parts of the province of Abra were published on social networks.

It will be remembered that on June 22, an earthquake of magnitude 5.9 occurred in Afghanistan. Then about a thousand people died and at least 600 people were injured.
