Seismology agencies in the region reported slightly different readings, with Colombia’s geological service listing the quake at magnitude 5.7 and other agencies confirming 5.5. Because of its depth, experts say the earthquake was widely felt but unlikely to cause major damage, News.Az reports, citing foreign media.
Preliminary assessments indicate no serious injuries or structural destruction. Shaking was reported in several nearby provinces, while monitoring centers continue to track updates and potential aftershocks.
