A 7.6-magnitude earthquake struck Mindanao Island in the south of the Philippines at 22:37 local time yesterday. Following the earthquake that occurred at a depth of 32.8 km, a tsunami warning was issued by the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs). Waves up to 40 cm in height hit Japanese coasts after the jolt.
At least 18 people were injured when two passenger trains collided on a suburban line between Slovakia’s capital, Bratislava, and the nearby town of Pezinok. The injured were taken to four hospitals under Bratislava University Hospital.
Authorities said the cause of the crash remains under investigation, and Slovak Railways has launched an inquiry. The incident follows another train accident in eastern Slovakia last month that injured 20 people.
