Two earthquakes measuring 7.7 and 6.6 magnitude struck southern Panama, accompanied by a series of aftershocks that caused building collapses and damage to some structures. A tsunami warning was issued but later canceled. Panama’s president declared a "major disaster" and rescue teams continue their operations, although no fatalities have been reported so far, with only minor injuries resulting from building collapses. The damage was concentrated in the provinces of Veraguas, Herrera, and Los Santos, involving collapses of a cathedral, government buildings, and a church. Authorities remain cautious about the possibility of more significant damage. The airport has been reopened, metro services remain suspended, and schools have been closed. The authorities are continuing to inspect facilities to ensure safety.
