The death toll from an earthquake in the southern Philippines has risen to seven, officials said, with many more injured.
The victims included a seven-year-old boy and his 44-year-old father who died after they were struck by a boulder, officials told the Reuters news agency.
Authorities have warned that the death toll could rise further in the days ahead.
An earthquake of magnitude 6.6 sent people scrambling on Tuesday as it shook buildings and disrupted power supply in the central area of the Philippines’ southern island of Mindanao.
