Strong quake kills 6 in south Philippines

A powerful earthquake struck the southern Philippines yesterday, killing six people, cracking buildings and injuring dozens in a region still reeling from a previous deadly tremor. Terrified locals ran into the streets after the 6.6-magnitude quake, which hit the island of Mindanao as schools and offices opened for the day. The shaking lasted up to a minute in some areas, damaging homes and classrooms in a region where hundreds are still displaced by a quake earlier this month.
