An earthquake of magnitude 5.2 occurred only 8 minutes ago 35 km south of Bucaramanga, Colombia, The Colombian Geological Service (SGC) reported.
The quake hit at an intermediate depth of 149. km beneath the epicenter near Bucaramanga, Santander, Colombia, early morning on Friday, April 18th, 2025, at 5:31 am local time. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
