Kolumbiya g‘arbidagi San-Xose-del-Palmar yaqinida sodir bo‘lgan 7,4 magnitudali kuchli zilzila oqibatida 47 kishi halok bo‘ldi, bu mamlakatda so‘nggi o‘n yil ichida qayd etilgan eng katta zilzila hisoblanadi.

47 people have died following the powerful 7.4-magnitude earthquake that struck near San José del Palmar in western Colombia, the highest magnitude earthquake registered in the country in the last decade. Emergency responders are actively conducting search and rescue operations amid widespread structural damage in the hardest-hit Chocó department. The massive quake forced evacuations across major cities, including Bogotá and Medellín, and has already been followed by two 2.8 and 5.0 magnitude aftershocks, leading authorities to urge residents to remain cautious of further seismic activity.
