MOSCOW (Sputnik) - A powerful 7.5-magnitude earthquake was registered off the southeastern coast of the Philippines on Saturday, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Center (EMSC) said.
The earthquake was recorded at 14:37 GMT 19 kilometers (11.8 miles) northeast of the Tagbina municipality on the island of Mindanao at a depth of 63 kilometers, EMSC data shows.
The earthquake was followed by magnitude 5.7-6.5 aftershocks throughout the day.
The US Tsunami Warning System declared a tsunami alert, which was lifted later in the day. At the same time, the Japan Meteorological Agency warned of a tsunami threat after the earthquake near the Philippines, saying that it expected surge waves of up to 1 meter high (3.2 feet) to reach coastal regions of the country tonight.
A view of the Vatican Apostolic Library, Vatican City, Monday, Sept. 13, 2010. The Vatican's Apostolic Library is reopening to scholars following a three-year renovation to improve its cataloguing and security measures. The library, which houses one of the world's best collections of illuminated manuscripts, opens its doors Sept. 20. Details will be announced Monday at a press conference. The library was started by Pope Nicholas V in the 1450's with an initial 350 Latin manuscripts. By the time Nicholas died in 1455, the collection had swelled to about 1,500 codices and was the largest in Europe. Today, the Vatican Library has about 65,000 manuscripts as well as the Codex B, the oldest known complete Bible, dating from about 325 A.D. and believed to have been one of the 50 bibles Emperor Constantine commissioned.  - Sputnik International, 1920, 10.11.2023
