MANILA, Philippines—A series of earthquakes which reached 5.7 magnitude rocked eastern Mindanao on Thursday, collapsing the walls of some houses and sending residents fleeing from their homes. There were no reports of injuries.
The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) said Friday that the moderately strong earthquake struck offshore, 54 km east of Surigao City.
Vice Mayor Alfred Arreza of Surigao del Sur’s Carrascal town said appliances tumbled and the walls of some houses collapsed when the quake struck late Thursday.
A wall of a church and a portion of a seawall also collapsed while a highway was damaged.
