138 aftershocks reported so far from magnitude 7.8 Mindanao earthquake

The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology has confirmed a significant series of seismic activities following a powerful 7.8 magnitude earthquake in the Mindanao region. As of Monday morning, authorities documented 138 distinct aftershocks occurring in the area. These subsequent tremors are a standard geological response to such a major seismic event. Emergency management teams continue to monitor the situation closely to assess potential risks to the local population. Residents are advised to remain vigilant as the frequency of these secondary quakes remains high.

Tracking aftershocks is critical for public safety and disaster response as it helps authorities gauge the ongoing stability of the region following a major earthquake.
