Ynet published new footage Monday showing collapsed buildings and destruction in the aftermath of the earthquake in Colombia. The footage has not been independently verified.
New footage published by ynet on Monday afternoon captures additional collapsed buildings and widespread destruction in the aftermath of the powerful 7.4-magnitude earthquake that struck western Colombia earlier today. The visual evidence, which has not been independently verified, adds to a growing body of amateur and media footage documenting the disaster's impact across the Chocó region and other cities.
The Zioneer has been tracking the story since the first alerts at 15:43 Jerusalem time. Initial reports placed the magnitude at 7.1 before it was upgraded to 7.4, centered in the Pacific-coast Chocó department. Within minutes, reports emerged of panic among residents, followed by official confirmation of injuries and significant structural damage in Quibdó, the regional capital. Footage from N12 showed objects falling from buildings and striking people, while Israel offered assistance. Later dramatic video captured buildings collapsing and a live television studio shaking — all within the same hour. Authorities reported no confirmed deaths as of the initial assessments.
The earthquake in Colombia comes amid a period of heightened seismic activity in Latin America. Just weeks earlier, The Zioneer extensively covered devastating earthquakes in Venezuela, where magnitude 7.1 tremors caused widespread building collapses, casualties, and a declared emergency in Caracas (The Zioneer, Jun 25).
The new ynet footage remains unverified by independent sources. Authorities have not provided a full update on casualties or structural damage in the areas captured. As rescue and assessment efforts continue, further updates are expected.
