6.1 quake hits off coast of Philippines
A 6.1-magnitude earthquake jolted the sea area off the Philippine island of Luzon on Sunday, US seismologists said.
The US Geological Survey said the quake had a depth of 35 kilometres and hit at 6:19 am (03:49 IST) some 143 kilometres southwest of the city of Baguio and 181 kilometres northwest of the
capital Manila.
The Philippines sits on the Pacific Ring of Fire — a belt around the Pacific Ocean dotted by active volcanoes and unstable ocean trenches.
