Eight killed as quakes hit far northern Philippines Eight people were killed and dozens injured when a series of earthquakes struck islands in the far northern Philippines early Saturday.

The tremors hit the province of Batanes, a group of sparsely populated islets north of the nation’s largest Luzon island, toppling buildings and leaving deep cracks in roads.

Many people were still asleep when the first tremor struck around 4:15 am , followed just under four hours later by a second, stronger jolt.Mayor Raul de Sagon told AFP that eight people had been killed and around 60 others were hurt. The extent of their injuries was not immediately clear. “We always experience typhoons so houses here are made to withstand strong winds,” he said. “But we were not prepared for earthquakes such as this.”
