The 6.1-magnitude quake swayed skyscrapers and caused frightened office workers to run into the streets.

An international airport terminal has also been closed because of damage to the check-in areas, ceilings and sections of the departure area.

The U.S. Geological Survey's preliminary estimate is that more than 49 million people were exposed to some shaking from the earthquake, with more than 14 million people likely to feel moderate shaking or more.

A magnitude 7.7 quake killed nearly 2,000 people in the northern Philippines in 1990.
