On August 12, 2021, at 01:46:12 PST, a strong Mw  7.1 earthquake struck the island of Mindanao at a depth of 55.1 kilometers (34.2 mi).

[3] Local authorities have deployed personnel to assess structures for any damage and injuries following the earthquake.

Mindanao is regularly rocked by quakes due to its location on the Pacific "Ring of Fire".

Despite the location, there is no evidence of a casual relationship between these two events due to the long period of time between them.

The Department of Transportation said there were only minor cracks on the runway of the airport in Mati, but no damage to the passenger terminal.

There was no damage at Francisco Bangoy International Airport as well as port facilities and public terminals in the region, it added.
