A powerful earthquake of magnitude 7.4 has struck the Pacific coast of Colombia, according to local authorities, causing injuries and triggering concerns about potential aftershocks. The epicentre of the quake was located approximately 5km east of San José del Palmar, a village on the coast, at a depth of 96km (60 miles), as reported by Colombia's geological service. The tremor occurred on Monday at 07:34 local time (12:34 GMT). The quake was felt hundreds of kilometres away in cities like Bogotá, where several buildings were evacuated due to the shaking. In Manizales, a city located in Colombia's coffee region, footage showed a collapsed building and people shouting for those feared trapped underneath. Other videos posted on social media displayed the collapsed spire of a church in Manizales, with a nearby building exhibiting deep fissures in its façade. Journalists reporting live on Caracol Radio described furniture shaking within their Bogotá studio. Damage has also been reported at several regional airports, including those in Pereira, Manizales, Quibdó, Armenia, Cartago, and Buenaventura. The earthquake comes less than two months after devastating twin quakes hit Venezuela's northern region, resulting in over 6,100 fatalities.
