At least 45 people were killed, 17 missing and 487 injured after a magnitude 7.9 earthquake struck off the southern coast of Mindanao, the Philippines, on Monday, said the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council on Wednesday.

The council said the quake has affected more than 33,000 households, or nearly 150,000 people, and over 41,000 affected residents have been displaced. In terms of property damage, a total of 238 infrastructure facilities, including hospitals, schools and bridges, have been damaged, along with nearly 3,000 houses.

It said that the tremor was felt across most of Mindanao and parts of the central Philippines, and more than 1,700 aftershocks have been recorded since the main shock. Search and rescue operations in affected areas are still ongoing.

The most affected areas in terms of casualties, displacement, and damage to houses and infrastructure are the provinces of Sarangani and South Cotabato, including General Santos City, with a population of some 700,000, the council said, adding that fatalities were caused by earthquake-triggered landslides, drowning, and injuries from falling or collapsing debris.

The Philippines' Department of Education said the quake had affected over 8,600 schools, disrupting classes for over 4 million learners and more than 150,000 school personnel. The country's Department of Energy said that around 864,000 households experienced power interruptions.

The Department of Public Works and Highways said the damage to property caused by the quake has reached 1 billion pesos (about 16.2 million U.S. dollars) in General Santos City, a port city with a population of over 700,000.

The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology said the tectonic earthquake occurred at 07:37 local time at a depth of 33 km, with the epicenter 32 km southwest of the coast of Maasim town in Sarangani province on Mindanao Island.
