Significant magnitude 6.7 earthquake 75 km south of Malapatan, Philippines

A shallow magnitude 6.7 earthquake was reported early evening near Malapatan, Province of Sarangani, Soccsksargen, Philippines.
According to Indonesia's Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency, the quake hit on Friday, June 26th, 2026, at 7:34 pm local time at a shallow depth of 10. km. Shallow earthquakes are felt more strongly than deeper ones as they are closer to the surface. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
A second report was later issued by France's Réseau National de Surveillance Sismique (RéNaSS), which listed it as a magnitude 5.7 earthquake.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should have been felt by everybody in the area of the epicenter. In those areas, dangerous ground shaking occurred with the potential to inflict moderate to heavy damage to buildings and other infrastructure.
Towns or cities where the quake likely caused strong ground shaking include
Moderate shaking probably occurred in Glan (pop. 24,300) located 58 km from the epicenter, Sapu Padidu (pop. 9,800) 69 km away, Sapu Padidu (pop. 9,800) 69 km away, Malapatan (pop. 82,600) 75 km away, Alabel (pop. 90,100) 90 km away, and General Santos (pop. 722,100) 90 km away.
