Colombia shaken by new quake
An earthquake with a magnitude of 5.1 struck northeastern Colombia, in an area known for seismic activity, causing no injuries or material damage. However, it sparked panic and evacuations in the cities of Bucaramanga and Bogotá after residents felt the tremor. The incident recalled a previous earthquake with a magnitude of 7.4 that occurred in August, which resulted in over 330 deaths and the destruction of thousands of homes. Following that event, the president declared a state of economic emergency, with damages estimated at approximately $9.57 billion.
