Strong earthquake kills 31 people in a central Philippine region hit by deadly storm just days ago

Manila, Philippines – Officials said an earthquake abroad is 6.9 walls of homes and buildings late on Tuesday in the Central Philippines, killing at least 31 people, which resulted in the injury of many others and send residents who walk from homes to dark while severe power cut power.

The earthquake center, which was launched in a local error at a depth of 5 kilometers (3 miles), was about 19 km (12 miles) northeast of Bugo, a coastal city of about 90,000 people in Sibu County where at least 14 residents died in a disaster, a specialist in the press by a “specialist”.

The death toll was expected to rise in Bugo. He said that the workers were trying to transfer backgrounds to accelerate search and rescue efforts in a group of huts in a mountainous village that struck with a landslide and rocks.

“It is difficult to move in the area because there are risks.”

At least 12 residents, most of them belonged to small families, died when they had ceilings and walls in their homes, and some of them during sleep, in the city of Midelin near Bugo, said Gima Villaamuer, who heads the city’s disaster mitigation office, told the RR newspaper.

In San Remigio Town, also near Bugo, five people were killed, consisting of three coast guard individuals, a firefighter and a child, separately due to the collapse of the walls while trying to escape safely from the basketball game that was disrupted by earthquakes, the city’s vice -mayor, Alfie Reynes, for the Dzm Radio Network.

Reigns appealed to food and water, saying that the water system in San Rimigio had been damaged by the earthquake.

Aside from the houses in Bugo, the earthquake harmed a fire station, concrete and philosophical routes, firefighters Ray Kanit said.

“We were in our barracks to retire for the day when the earth began to shake and rush, but we stumbled on the ground because of the severe shaking,” he said, adding that he and three other firefighters were cut and bruises.

Kanit said a concrete wall at the fire station had collapsed. He and his colleagues from the firefighters presented the first aid for at least three residents, who were wounded by the land and the collapsed walls.

Hundreds of terrifying residents gathered in the dark in a herb field near the fire station and refused to return home hours after the earthquake was hit in Bugo. Kanit said that many commercial institutions were damaged and asphalt and concrete roads in which they had passed deep cracks, adding that an ancient Catholic church in Danantayan, near Bugo, was also damaged.

The governor of Sebo Pamela Parikotro said the extent of damage and injuries in Bugo and remote towns in the northern part of the province will not know until the day. “It may be worse than we think,” he said in a video posted on Facebook.

The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology has briefly issued a tsunami warning and advised people to stay away from the coasts in Cibo and in the provinces near Liete and Biliur because of the potential waves of up to 1 meter (3 feet).

The Tsunami warning was subsequently lifted without any unusual waves being monitored.

CEBU and other provinces were still recovering from a storm that was beaten in the central region on Friday, leaving at least 27 people who are mostly dumped due to drowning and falling trees, expelling power in the entire cities and towns and forcing tens of thousands of people.

The Philippines, one of the world’s most disaster, is often exposed to earthquakes and volcanic eruptions because of its position on the “Fire Ring” in the Pacific Ocean, which is an arc of seismic errors around the ocean. The archipelago lacks about 20 hurricanes and storms every year.
