A powerful 6.3 magnitude earthquake struck near Villavicencio, Colombia, at 10:47 AM, sending tremors across cities including Bogotá, Medellín, and Cali. The quake lasted for 45 seconds, causing structural damage, widespread power outages, and panic among residents.
In Bogotá, a residential high-rise developed severe cracks and began to tilt, prompting immediate rescue operations. Firefighters and local volunteers worked tirelessly, clearing debris by hand and rescuing people trapped beneath the rubble. Hospitals were quickly overwhelmed, while nearby rural areas faced landslides and became cut off from help.
President Duque announced $50 million in emergency aid and promised a rapid recovery response. Throughout the night, rescue teams continued their efforts as communities came together—forming human chains, supporting survivors, and demonstrating extraordinary courage.
As the dust begins to clear, Colombia faces a long recovery ahead—wounded, but resilient and united.
