There were no immediate reports of major damage from the quake, which Colombia’s national geological service reported as a magnitude 6.1.
“It was strong, and lasted a long time, said Adrian Alarcon, 43, who works near the capital’s busy Park 93 district. “It makes me feel fragile,” he added. “Life changes in a second. You can’t do anything, just run for your life.”
Tragedy struck in the southeast of the capital, where one woman fell to her death out of a window during the quake, Mayor Claudia Lopez said on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter.
