Philippines struck by powerful earthquake

Published

Many have evacuated after the Philippine island of Luzon has been shaken by a 7.1 magnitude earthquake.

A powerful 7.1 magnitude earthquake has struck the Philippine island of Luzon, centred around the mountainous area in Abra province.

The quake occurred at a shallow depth of 10 kilometres, with tremors felt right across the nation.

The mayor of Lagangilang in Abra province says “we have received reports of damages to houses, but so far no casualties.” 

He also said the town’s power supply automatically cut off “due to danger.”

Local media reports suggest there is no immediate damage or injuries. Although, cracks have been reported in some buildings.

It’s understood the train system in the capital of Manilla has been halted, and some buildings have also been evacuated.

Reports say the island is still experiencing aftershocks, with more to be expected.

Authorities in Australia and Hawaii are reporting there is no tsunami threat.

The Philippines is often rocked by earthquakes because of its location in the Pacific’s ‘Ring of Fire’. New Zealand is one of the countries in this ring, who experienced a 5.6 magnitude earthquake earlier this year.
