A 7.4‑magnitude earthquake struck western Colombia on a recent day, killing more than 100 people and leaving dozens injured, officials said. The quake's epicenter was San José del Palmar, about 250 miles west of the capital, Bogotá. The event caused widespread damage to infrastructure.
According to ABC News, dozens died and several people were trapped in collapsed buildings. The New York Times reported that the death toll had risen beyond 100 in live updates. The Guardian confirmed that the earthquake caused extensive building collapse across affected areas.
