A major earthquake measuring 7.4 on the magnitude scale hit Colombia, with its epicenter located in the Chocó province along the Pacific coast. The seismic event was powerful enough to be felt in urban centers hundreds of kilometers away from the point of origin. Current reports indicate that the death toll has reached at least 111 people.
Emergency response teams are currently working to assess the extent of the damage and conduct search and rescue operations in the affected regions. While the epicenter was in a relatively remote area, the reach of the tremors suggests that infrastructure and residential areas across a significant portion of the country may have been impacted. Authorities have not yet provided a comprehensive breakdown of the structural damage or the total number of injuries, as efforts remain focused on locating survivors in the immediate aftermath of the disaster. The government has begun coordinating relief efforts to provide aid to those displaced or affected by the destruction.
