Two earthquakes of 5.8 M (5.9 M according to national authorities) and 5.4 M, respectively at a depth of 10 and 12.8 km occurred in northern Mindanao Island (southern Philippines) on 10 February at 3.22 UTC (3.22 local time) and 5.21 UTC (13.21 local time). The epicentre of the 5.8 M earthquake was located approximately 9 km south-southwest of Tungao City (Agusan del Norte Province, Caraga Region).
The U.S. Geological Survey Prompt Assessment of Global Earthquakes for Response (PAGER) estimates that up to 61,000 people were exposed to very strong shaking and 130,000 to strong shaking.
According to media reports, there were no immediate reports of any casualties due to the seismic activity in the area. The earthquakes halted search and rescue activities of people buried by a landslide that hit the mountain village of Masara in Davao de Oro Province (Davao Region, bordering the Caraga Region) on 6 February and resulted in 54 fatalities and 63 still missing people.
For the next 24 hours, partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms are forecast over the Mindanao Island.
