No significant damage or fatalities have been reported. Preliminary assessments indicate that essential infrastructure (water, electricity, roads, and communications) remains intact in Daocheng and nearby counties.

The area is remote and sparsely populated, which reduces the potential for serious impacts.

Earthquakes in Kamchatka M6.1 & M6.0 are likely aftershocks from M8.8 earthquake.

We could expect significant seismic activity toward the region of Japan and China, also toward the region of Fiji, Tonga, or New Zealand.

The situation so far in Philippines

A 7.4 magnitude earthquake struck off Davao Oriental at 9:43 a.m. local time.

The latest tremor comes just over a week after a 6.9 magnitude quake hit Philippine's central Cebu province, killing 72 people and injuring hundreds. Reliefweb

The quake triggered landslides, including one in Camiguin that buried structures

Up to five deaths reported, with causes including falling debris and heart attacks in Mati and Davao City.

Over 350 injuries occurred, many from panic in schools and evacuations.​
Reporters observed a frenzy outside a hospital in Davao City, near the quake's epicentre, as patients were being treated outdoors in a carpark and crowds thronged the corridors. BBC​

Tsunami alerts prompted coastal evacuations but were lifted after minor waves hit.

It resembles the 2019 Mindanao quakes that killed dozens and damaged thousands of buildings in October.

As of 4:00 p.m. local time on October 10, 2025, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) has recorded a total of 299 aftershocks following the 7.4 magnitude earthquake off Davao Oriental. Strongest with M5.6

Edit. Video of landslide seems to be from an older landslide event (possibly 2022 in Leyte) So I removed it.

The 6.0 magnitude earthquake 10 km ENE of Aras-asan, Philippines, on October 11, 2025, is not considered an aftershock of the 7.4 magnitude earthquake 20 km E of Santiago, Philippines, on October 10, 2025. This is a new event. There are approximately 800-900 km between the two epicenters according to distance calculators and seismic maps.

Aftershocks are usually recorded within an area of 50-200 km around the epicenter of the mainshock.​

● Unusual earthquake in Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico

On the night of Thursday, at 23:28 hours on Thursday, October 9, 2025, a magnitude 3.8 earthquake was recorded with its epicenter located northeast of Ticul, at coordinates 20.43° latitude, –89.41° longitude, and a depth of 5 km. This event drew attention because the Yucatán Peninsula does not usually experience earthquakes, as its crust is relatively stable and is far from the main tectonic boundaries.
​
Unusual (rare) earthquake with an epicenter in Yucatán measuring 3.8 at 11:28 p.m. yesterday (reported today by the SSN).

🔸The SSN has recorded only four earthquakes in Yucatán, including today's, the largest of which measured 4.1 on June 22, 2004.
🔸Seismic activity in the Yucatán Peninsula is rare due to the stability of the crust and its distance from the zone of contact between plates.​
