A magnitude 5.7 earthquake struck northern Colombia today, Sunday 14th Sept 2025, according to the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ). The tremor was recorded in a region known for moderate seismic activity, though initial reports did not indicate significant damage or casualties.
Authorities are monitoring the situation and assessing potential impacts on local infrastructure and communities. Emergency services have not yet issued formal advisories, and no tsunami warning has been declared.
The event underscores Colombia’s vulnerability to seismic disturbances due to its location along the complex boundary of the South American and Caribbean tectonic plates. Further updates are expected as assessments continue.
