A strong earthquake struck the southern Philippine island of Mindanao on Thursday, rattling an area that is still recovering from a quake that killed at least eight people two days before.

The earthquake on Thursday, which the United States Geological Survey said was a magnitude-6.5, struck about 25 miles southwest of Davao City, a regional capital of 1.6 million people. There were no immediate reports of damage or casualties.

Tuesday’s quake, a magnitude-6.6, caused wide destruction of schools and other buildings on Mindanao.
