On Monday, August 10, 2026, a 7.4-magnitude earthquake struck Colombia at approximately 7:34 a.m., causing widespread destruction, including the collapse of dozens of buildings, overwhelmed hospitals, and the suspension of operations at multiple airports. The disaster resulted in significant casualties, with initial death tolls rising from at least 132 to at least 181 individuals, alongside over 570 reported injuries.

In the immediate aftermath of the emergency, domestic operations were disrupted, leading to the postponement of regional activities such as the Cundinamarca and Tolima lottery draws originally scheduled for Monday. By Tuesday, the humanitarian and structural impact prompted international intervention, leading the United States government to deploy a disaster response team to assist local authorities.
