4.6-magnitude aftershock rocks Sarangani; Intensity II in GenSan
MANILA, Philippines — A magnitude 4.6 aftershock jolted areas near Sarangani in Davao Occidental on Wednesday night.
According to a bulletin from the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs), the tremor came after the magnitude 6.2 earthquake that shook a huge part of Mindanao early Wednesday morning.
The aftershock’s epicenter was located off Mindanao’s shores, 35 kilometers southwest of Sarangani, at a depth of just 29 kilometers. Intensity II was felt in Kiamba town of Sarangani and in General Santos City.
Intensity I, on the other hand, was experienced in Alabel town.
