On the morning of August 10, a powerful 7.4 magnitude earthquake struck the department of Chocó in northwestern Colombia, prompting authorities to declare alerts and launch efforts to evaluate the extent of the damage across the hardest-hit areas.

According to emergency geologist Raúl Pérez López of the CSIC, the earthquake's hypocenter was located at a depth of about 100 kilometers. Experts note that this depth is greater than that of recent earthquakes in Venezuela, meaning its aftershocks are expected to be felt less intensely.
