India, Oct. 17 -- A magnitude 6.1 earthquake struck Mindanao in Philippines on Friday, the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GZF) said.

The quake is the latest in a series of quakes which have jolted the Southeast Asian country recently. It comes over a week after a massive earthquake, measuring 7.5 on the Richter scale, hit the Mindanao region.

Several school buildings and a hospital were damaged in the quake, and power supply was disrupted. The powerful tremors also triggered a tsunami warning, which was later lifted, and led to evacuations of coastal areas nearby.

The 7.5 magnitude quake was at a depth of 62 km (38.53 miles), according to the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC).
