Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has ordered evacuations in coastal areas.

Authorities are now assessing the situation on the ground, and search and rescue efforts are being prepared and will be deployed as soon as it is safe to do so, Marcos said in a statement.

“We are working round the clock to ensure that help reaches everyone who needs it,” Mr. Marcos said.

The U.S. Tsunami Warning System issued a tsunami threat, saying hazardous tsunami waves are possible for coasts located within 300 km of the earthquake's epicenter.

EMSC had earlier pegged the magnitude at 7.2.
