MANILA: A 6.7-magnitude earthquake struck off southern Philippines on Friday (June 26), the US Geological Survey (USGS) said, less than three weeks after a major tremor in the same area left more than 80 people dead.

The quake struck at 7.42pm at a depth of 65.7km about 21km south-west of Mindanao island’s Sarangani town, according to USGS.

There were no immediate tsunami warnings. - AFP
