New footage circulating Monday afternoon shows objects falling from a building and striking people on the ground during the powerful magnitude 7.4 earthquake that struck western Colombia earlier today. The video, first reported by N12, has not been independently verified by The Zioneer.
The Zioneer first reported the earthquake at 15:43 Jerusalem time, with the epicenter in the Chocó department. Subsequent updates confirmed significant damage and injuries in the regional capital Quibdó and the city of Pereira, as reported by local officials. Additional footage published by ynet and N12 showed building collapses and a TV studio shaking during the tremor. The newly emerged video adds to the visual record of the event.
Israel offered assistance to the Colombian government following the earthquake, as The Zioneer reported at 16:42 Jerusalem time. The tremor was felt across Colombia and in neighboring Venezuela and Ecuador, with the US Geological Survey recording the magnitude at 7.4. The region has experienced heightened seismic activity in recent months, as previously documented by The Zioneer.
Authorities have not confirmed any deaths so far, and the total number of casualties remains unknown. The footage of objects striking people during the earthquake is unverified by independent sources.
