Summary
A 6.05-magnitude earthquake hit Mindanao on Tuesday, with tremors felt across the southern Philippine island.
The German Research Centre for Geosciences said the quake struck at a depth of 10 kilometers, pointing to shallow seismic activity that can intensify surface shaking.
The event renewed focus on Mindanao's exposure to frequent tectonic movement in the seismically active Philippines.
Disaster preparedness and response capacity are again in focus as authorities and communities seek to limit the impact of future quakes.
