A magnitude 6.9 earthquake struck off the coast of the southern Philippines early Dec 4, the United States Geological Survey said, the latest in a slew of strong quakes all concentrated in the same area.
The earthquake hit just before 4am local time (2000 GMT Dec 3), at a depth of 30km, some 72km north-east of Hinatuan municipality on Mindanao island.
The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology, which recorded the earthquake at a magnitude of 6.7, said there was no risk of a tsunami.
