Philippines earthquake: Child killed and dozens injured

At least one child has been killed and more than two dozen people injured after a powerful earthquake in the south of the Philippines.

Residents ran from their homes and offices in panic and a shopping centre was set ablaze during the intense shaking in central Mindanao, the country’s second-largest island.
Authorities advised residents to stay out of homes that may have suffered cracks and been weakened.
The quake, which measured 6.4, also caused power cuts and strong aftershocks in some regions.
