The Colombian Geological Service (SGC) reported a magnitude 3.8 quake in Colombia near Bucaramanga, Departamento de Santander, only 13 minutes ago. The earthquake hit late at night on Monday, August 18th, 2025, at 11:26 pm local time at an intermediate depth of 123. km. 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.
A second report was later issued by the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake, which listed it as a magnitude 3.8 earthquake as well.
According to preliminary calculations, we do not expect that the quake was felt by many people and did not cause any damage. In Lebrija (pop. 8,900, 11 km away), Giron (pop. 108,500, 17 km away), Bucaramanga (pop. 581,100, 22 km away), Floridablanca (pop. 267,600, 26 km away), Piedecuesta (pop. 163,400, 33 km away), Sabana de Torres (pop. 27,800, 37 km away), Barrancabermeja (pop. 191,400, 59 km away), San Gil (pop. 46,200, 64 km away), and Puerto Wilches (pop. 31,700, 69 km away), the quake was probably not felt.
