Earthquake in the Philippines

At least one person has been killed and dozens injured when a magnitude 6.6 earthquake shook the central Philippines, damaging buildings, roads, and forcing residents to evacuate their homes.

The shallow quake struck southeast of Masbate Island in the Bicol region at 8:03am (00:03 GMT) at a depth of about 21 kilometres (13 miles) on Tuesday August 19, the US Geological Survey said.

The Philippines lies along the Pacific "Ring of Fire," an arc of faults around the Pacific Ocean where most of the world's earthquakes occur. It is also lashed by about 20 typhoons and tropical storms each year, making it one of the world's most disaster-prone countries.

Search-and-rescue efforts are still on-going in the region.
