A magnitude 7.4 earthquake struck Colombia on Tuesday, with its epicentre located in the Chocó province along the Pacific Coast. The tremor was strong enough to be felt in major urban centers hundreds of kilometres from the source, prompting widespread alarm across the region.
National emergency services and the Institute of Geology have deployed assessment teams to the affected area, reporting no immediate casualties but noting damage to roads, bridges and some coastal infrastructure. Authorities have urged residents to remain vigilant for aftershocks and to follow safety instructions while officials continue to monitor the situation and coordinate relief efforts.
