A 5.7 Magnitude Earthquake Strikes Northern Colombia This Morning

A strong earthquake struck northern Colombia this Sunday morning, with a magnitude of 5.7 on the Richter scale, according to the German Research Center for Geosciences.

The center explained that the earthquake occurred at a depth of only 10 kilometers below the Earth's surface, increasing the likelihood of its impact on nearby residential areas.

No confirmed reports of casualties or damage have been received so far, but local authorities have begun assessing the damage and monitoring the situation in anticipation of any potential aftershocks.

The earthquake, felt by residents in several areas of the northern part of the country, has raised concerns among citizens, especially given its shallow epicenter, making it more perceptible on the surface.

It is worth noting that Colombia is located within the "Ring of Fire" in the Pacific, an area known for high seismic and volcanic activity.
