Terremoto de magnitud 7.8 en Filipinas mata al menos a 35, derriba edificios y provoca tsunami

A powerful earthquake with a magnitude of 7.8 struck the Philippines on June 8, 2026, causing widespread devastation and claiming at least 35 lives. The quake, which hit in the early hours, collapsed numerous buildings and triggered a tsunami that affected coastal communities.

Rescue operations are underway as authorities work to locate survivors trapped under rubble. The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology issued a tsunami warning for several coastal areas, prompting evacuations.

The full extent of the damage is still being assessed, but initial reports indicate significant destruction in both urban and rural areas. The earthquake's epicenter was located offshore, leading to fears of aftershocks and further tsunamis.

International aid offers have begun to arrive, and local emergency services are stretched thin. The death toll is expected to rise as search and rescue efforts continue.
