Southern Panama experiences 7.7 magnitude quake
An earthquake with a magnitude of 7.7 struck southern Panama, resulting in building destruction, power outages, and suspension of flights, with more than 40 aftershocks recorded. The earthquake damaged six provinces, caused flight stoppages at Tocumen Airport, and temporarily halted vessels in the Panama Canal, which remained operational, despite projected economic losses ranging from 1% to 10% of the GDP. Additionally, landslides occurred in parts of Costa Rica and Bínoma, metro services and schools were halted, and tsunami warnings were issued in several countries, with potential reaching Hawaii, all just days before a national drill to test Panama's earthquake preparedness.
