Tsunami threat lifts in Philippines and Indonesia after 7.4 magnitude earthquake
At least five people died and hundreds of aftershocks followed the 7.4 magnitude quake, prompting evacuations and damage assessments by Philippine authorities.
- On Friday, October 10, 2025, a powerful 7.4-magnitude earthquake struck about 62 kilometers southeast of Manay in Davao Oriental, prompting tsunami warnings and evacuations.
- PHIVOLCS said the quake came from the Philippine Trench, an active segment that records at least 35 earthquakes daily, following a recent 6.9 quake in Cebu province that killed 74.
- PHIVOLCS recorded multiple aftershocks—hundreds within an hour—and initial assessments showed infrastructure damage in Davao Oriental province as emergency teams deployed for search-and-rescue.
- The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said the threat has passed after small waves were detected, and President Ferdinand 'Bongbong' Marcos Jr. ordered agencies to prioritise response, saying `We are working round the clock to ensure that help reaches everyone who needs it`.
- Authorities warned some coasts in Indonesia and Palau could see waves up to 1 metre, while minor tsunamis reaching 17cm were recorded in the Talaud Islands in North Sulawesi.
