Colombia hit by 5.1 quake after two weeks

Colombia was struck by an earthquake measuring 5.1 in magnitude two weeks after a devastating 7.4 magnitude quake that resulted in the deaths of 331 people and injured over 4,400 others. The new earthquake occurred in the Los Santos region of the Santander department at a depth of 140 kilometers. It was felt by residents in several areas, including Santander, Norte de Santander, Arauca, and others. Authorities continue to monitor potential damages, but so far, no material or human losses have been reported. This pattern of weaker tremors occurring prior to stronger earthquakes is common and has contributed to heightened alertness across the country.
