A significant earthquake, measuring 7.7 on the Richter scale, struck Panama. The seismic event caused considerable tremors across the region, prompting immediate attention from geological and emergency response agencies. Details regarding the extent of damage and any potential casualties are still emerging.
Panama lies within a seismically active zone, situated near the boundary of the Cocos and Caribbean tectonic plates.
