A magnitude 7.5 earthquake struck Mindanao in the Philippines on Saturday, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Center (EMSC) said, at a depth of 63 km, and a tsunami is expected to hit the Philippines and Japan soon.
Philippine Seismology Agency PHIVOLCS said tsunami waves could hit the Philippines by midnight local time and could continue for hours.
Japanese broadcaster NHK said tsunami waves up to one meter (3 feet) high were expected to reach Japan's west coast a little later - by 1.30am on Sunday.
