A powerful earthquake strikes western Colombia, killing at least 111 people and causing widespread damage. Buildings collapse, hospitals and infrastructure are affected, and people are trapped under rubble as rescuers search for survivors. The quake is described by outlets as the country’s strongest in decades or this century.
Rescue and recovery efforts are ongoing, with at least 132 deaths reported by one outlet. Coverage also places the disaster in a political context, noting the earthquake comes days after Abelardo De La Espriella is sworn in as president. While both sources focus on casualties and destruction, they differ on the latest confirmed death toll as authorities update figures and as rescue operations continue.
