A powerful magnitude 8.0 earthquake has struck off the coast of the Philippines, killing at least one person and injuring several others. The undersea quake hit near Mindanao on Monday morning at a depth of just 10 kilometres. Videos online captured buildings and cranes swaying violently as the tremor hit. One clip shows a Jollibee fast food restaurant collapsing into a cloud of dust.Terrified onlookers can be seen running as debris crashes to the ground. Photos from nearby General Santos City show severe damage to buildings and shops. Police say rescue crews are still searching collapsed structures. Authorities have described it as one of the strongest earthquakes they have experienced. The quake also triggered tsunami warnings across parts of the Pacific. Coastal evacuations were ordered in parts of the Philippines. Warnings were also issued for Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Taiwan and Palau. Australia briefly issued a tsunami watch for the Northern Territory and Christmas Island before cancelling it. Officials said no dangerous waves had been detected. Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr urged people to move to higher ground immediately. "Do not wait. Your life is more important than anything left behind," he said. Power and communications have reportedly been disrupted near the epicentre. The Philippines sits on the Pacific Ring of Fire, one of the world's most active earthquake zones. Authorities say rescue operations are continuing as the full extent of the damage becomes clearer.
