A powerful earthquake has struck central Colombia, leaving a trail of destruction across multiple cities. The most dramatic scene emerged from downtown Bogotá, where a multi-story apartment building partially collapsed, leaning precariously onto a
neighboring structure. Emergency services have confirmed multiple fatalities and dozens of injuries, with many residents still feared trapped under the rubble.
The earthquake measured 6.3 on the Richter scale, with its epicenter located near Villavicencio, approximately 80 kilometers southeast of the capital. The tremor struck at approximately 10:47 AM local time, shaking the ground for nearly 45 seconds and felt as far as Medellín and Cali.
