(23 Apr 2019) Monday's powerful earthquake in the Philippines killed at least 11 people and damaged an airport in Pampanga province, north of Manila.
The 6.1 magnitude quake shook Pampanga as well as several other provinces and the capital on the main northern island of Luzon.
According to airport officials, Clark Freeport, a former American air base, was closed temporarily because of damaged check-in counters, ceilings and parts of the departure area.
Seven people were slightly injured at the airport and more than 100 flights were cancelled.
At least 24 people remained missing in the rice-growing agricultural region, most of them in the rubble of a collapsed supermarket in Porac, while 81 others were injured, according to the government's disaster-response agency.
A new 6.4 magnitude earthquake hit the central Philippines on Tuesday.
There were no immediate reports of casualties or major damage from the new quake.
