Tsunami warning due to magnitude 7.8 earthquake in Mindanao lifted

The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology has officially retracted the tsunami alert that was previously triggered by a powerful 7.8 magnitude earthquake in Mindanao. Following the seismic event on Monday morning, authorities closely monitored coastal regions for potential hazardous waves. After assessing the situation, experts determined that the threat of a tsunami had passed. Residents in the affected areas are now cleared to resume normal activities as the risk has been downgraded. Officials continue to monitor the region for any potential aftershocks that may follow the initial tremor.

The lifting of the tsunami warning provides critical relief to coastal communities and signals that the immediate threat of catastrophic flooding from the earthquake has subsided.
