Magnitude 6.7 quake hits off southern Philippines: USGS

MANILA, June 26, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - A 6.7-magnitude earthquake struck off the 
southern Philippines on Friday, the United States Geological Survey said, 
less than three weeks after a major tremor in the same area left more than 80 
people dead.

The quake struck at 7:42 pm (1142 GMT) at a depth of 65.7 kilometres (41 
miles) about 21 kilometres southwest of Mindanao island's Sarangani town, 
according to the USGS.

There were no immediate tsunami warnings.
