Philippines, 7/3: A 6.0-magnitude earthquake jolted the southern Philippines on Tuesday, the US Geological Survey said, with local authorities warning of aftershocks and possible damage.
The shallow quake struck at about 2:00 pm (0600 GMT), a few kilometres from Maragusan municipality in the mountainous gold-mining province of Davao de Oro on Mindanao island.
Shallow earthquakes tend to cause more harm than deeper ones, but there were no immediate confirmed reports of major damage.
An employee in the Maragusan disaster office told AFP that authorities were checking reports of a landslide on a national highway.
