A strong magnitude 6.7 earthquake shook the southern Philippines on Friday, the US Geological Survey said, with local authorities warning of potential damage.
No tsunami threat was issued after the quake struck off Sarangani province on the main southern island of Mindanao at a depth of 78 kilometers, the USGS said in a statement. There were no immediate reports of casualties but the quake was felt across a wide area of the mountainous island.
