At least 32 people have died and more than 100 others have been injured after a powerful 7.8-magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Mindanao in the southern Philippines. Authorities said landslides, building collapses and infrastructure damage were reported across several provinces, while nearly two dozen people remain missing. The quake triggered tsunami alerts in the Philippines, Japan, Indonesia and Australia, though some warnings were later lifted. More than 10,000 residents were evacuated as a precaution. Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr said government agencies were coordinating rescue and relief operations, while over 130 aftershocks have been recorded since the main quake. (PC: BBC)
