6.8 earthquake shakes central Philippines; 1 dead
A 6.8-magnitude earthquake struck the central Philippines on Monday, killing a child and triggering a local tsunami alert.
The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology issued the tsunami alert for the central Philippines, saying the quake, which hit in a narrow strait just off Negros Island, could trigger a 3-foot (1-meter) wave along the island's eastern coast as well as west of Cebu City, the country's second largest.
