    A magnitude 7.4 earthquake hit western Colombia on August 10, shaking this South American nation and neighboring Ecuador, forcing people to evacuate their homes and buildings.

    The epicenter was in San Jose Del Palmar, a city in the Choco region, about 400km west of Colombia's capital Bogota, according to the US Geological Survey (USGS) and Colombia's corresponding agency. The USGS said the earthquake occurred at a depth of 107km.

    The governor of Choco region (Colombia), Ms. Nubia Córdoba, said on social media that in the regional capital "there are people injured and serious damage to buildings", but did not provide further details.

    This earthquake occurred after two consecutive earthquakes of magnitude 7.2 and 7.5 in Venezuela at the end of June. Those earthquakes destroyed hundreds of buildings and killed more than 5,000 people.
