5.7 Magnitude Earthquake Strikes Northern Colombia Without Casualties

A magnitude 5.7 earthquake struck northern Colombia near the city of Frontino in the Antioch region, with the epicenter located approximately 10 kilometers deep, according to multiple sources including the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ). The tremor, which occurred on September 14, 2025, was felt by residents in nearby cities, especially in high-rise buildings, but no casualties or significant damage have been reported so far. Colombia's location at the junction of the Nazca and South American tectonic plates makes it prone to seismic activity, and the Antioch region is known for moderate earthquakes. Local authorities and geological services have urged residents to remain vigilant, prepare for possible aftershocks, and maintain safety protocols. The event highlights ongoing discussions about urban planning and construction safety in seismically active areas. International agencies, including GFZ and USGS, continue monitoring seismic activity in the region to provide data for government and emergency response planning.
