Magnitude 4.6 aftershock shakes Davao Occidental anew on Thursday
MANILA, Philippines — A magnitude 4.6 earthquake struck the waters off Davao Occidental on Thursday morning. State seismologists said this is an aftershock of the strong tremor that jolted the area last week. The tectonic quake occurred 36 kilometers northwest of Balut Island in Sarangani town at 11:24 am. It had a depth of 65 kilometers, according to Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs). “This is an aftershock of the 2023 November 17 Magnitude 6.8 Offshore Davao Occidental earthquake event,” Phivolcs said, relating Thursday’s event to the previous earthquake which killed 11 people. Phivolcs explained the new earthquake is part of the recorded aftershocks, which now number at 120, as of 8:00 a.m. on Thursday. Out of the 120 aftershocks, only six were felt, including this magnitude 4.6 earthquake. Phivolcs also said damage is unlikely as an outcome of this new aftershock.
