MANILA, Jan 7 (Xinhua\/APP): The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology said a magnitude 6.7 earthquake hit off Davao Oriental province in the southern Philippines on Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n

The institute said the earthquake occurred at 11:02 a.m. local time at a depth of 42 kilometers, with the epicenter about 47 kilometers from the coastal town of Manay.<\/p>\n

Tremors were felt across the island.<\/p>\n

The institute said the earthquake is expected to generate aftershocks and cause damage, particularly in areas near the epicenter.<\/p>\n

The Philippines experiences frequent seismic activity due to its location along the Pacific “Ring of Fire,” a zone of major tectonic plate boundaries known for earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.<\/p>\n
