GS RAS registered 29 aftershocks with M>=4.8 within 24 hours after the main shock. Events with magnitude M>5.0 are listed below.

According to TASS Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. ordered the evacuation of residents in the south of the country following a powerful 7.6-magnitude earthquake. This was announced in a statement released by the president's office. The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology previously issued a tsunami warning for the provinces of Davao Oriental, Eastern Samar, Southern Leyte, and Surigao del Norte, urging residents in coastal areas to immediately evacuate to higher ground.
According to National Tsunami Warning Center a tsunami warning was issued. The maximum tsunami wave height of 0.19 m was observed in the village of Beo on the island of Sulawesi.

Focal mechanism solution of the origin was calculated by GS RAS with signs of initial arrivals of P waves at 103 stations, including 86 stations which registered compression waves (plus signs), and 17 stations which registered tensile waves (minus signs). The stations are located in the interval of epicentral distances 1-99º and in azimuth sector Az=1-356º. Focal mechanism solution in stereographic projection on the lower hemisphere and elements of the mechanism are presented in the table. The table also contains focal mechanism solutions obtained at the USGS NEIC with WW-phase Moment Tensor (Mww) technique and in Lamont-Dohert Earth Observatory of Columbia University, USA (LDEO GCMT) with СМТ (Centroid moment tensor) technique. Solutions from different centers are close. The earthquake was caused by predominantly east-oriented compression stresses (AZ=100º) according to GS RAS and E-SE (AZ=102-106º) according to USGS NEIC and LDEO GCMT. One nodal plane NP1 strikes south (STK=174-176º), another NP2 strikes N-NE (STK=24-32º), both planes aredipping to the horizon at close angles (DIP=39-57º). The type of motion along both planes – reverse fault. The seismic moment of the earthquake was obtained by GS RAS from the spectra of longitudinal waves registered at the station "Talaya" (∆ 48.1º), it makes Mo=8.863*10**19 N*m, Mw=7.3. The seismic moment according to USGS NEIC makes Mo=1.712*10**20 N*m, Mww=7.42. According to LDEO GCMT it makes Mo=1.67*10**20 N*m, Mw=7.4.
