The tremor was registered on 10 April ,182 kilometres off the coast of the municipality of Glan, Philippines. According to preliminary estimates, the epicentre of the earthquake was located at a depth of more than 300 kilometres.

A 6.0-magnitude has struck off the southern coast of the Philippines, according to the European Mediterranean Seismological Centre. The earthquake occurred at around 5:30 p.m. local time on Saturday.
