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.
