A strong earthquake struck Colombia on August 10 and was strongly felt in major cities such as Bogota and Cali.
A powerful earthquake rocked Colombia and neighboring Latin American countries on Monday, with medical teams rushing to help victims after buildings were damaged or collapsed in several cities.
The Colombian geological service and its American counterpart USGS put the magnitude at 7.4, with an epicenter 100km underground in the west of the country. Colombia had initially put it at 6.6.
Colombian officials said they did not fear a tsunami after the early-morning quake, which was also felt in Ecuador, Panama and Venezuela.
It prompted building evacuations in Bogota, AFP reporters saw, while news footage showed collapsed buildings elsewhere in the country.
