A strong earthquake shakes parts of Colombia, with reports of damaged buildings and widespread disruption. Accounts from CBS and multiple other outlets describe a magnitude around 7.4, with tremors felt across a wide area and officials reporting injuries and evacuations.
Coverage also reflects differences in earthquake magnitude estimates between agencies. Euronews and outlets citing Colombia’s geological service report a 6.6 magnitude, while USGS estimates are reported as 7.4. Free Malaysia Today adds that the epicentre is about 100 km deep, and 7News Australia says the shaking is felt in Bogota and as far away as Venezuela.
Despite the varying magnitude figures, all sources describe a significant earthquake event affecting large parts of Colombia, triggering damage, and leading to emergency responses including evacuations. Reports of impacts vary in detail by outlet, but they consistently emphasize damage and disruptions following the quake.
