A magnitude 6.7 earthquake off Mindanao island, Philippines, has claimed at least six lives. In General Santos City, three people died, including a couple crushed by a collapsing concrete wall and another woman in a mall. In Sarangani province, two fatalities are confirmed, with two missing due to a landslide. Davao Occidental province reported a 78-year-old man crushed by a rock.
