At least 73 people were dead and buildings in multiple cities collapsed after a 7.4-magnitude earthquake struck western Colombia on Monday, authorities said.
The temblor, which struck near San José del Palmar on Colombia’s Pacific coast shortly after 7:30 a.m. local time, was the strongest to hit the country in a decade, according to the Colombian Geological Service. It was felt in Bogotá, some 150 miles away, and in neighboring Ecuador, Panama and Venezuela, where twin earthquakes in June killed thousands.
