Colombia was shaken near San Andres, San Andrés, Providencia y Santa Catalina, Departamento de Archipielago de San Andres, by an earthquake of magnitude 5.2 only 14 minutes ago, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) reported.The quake hit at a very shallow depth of 9. km beneath the epicenter near San Andres, San Andrés, Providencia y Santa Catalina, Departamento de Archipielago de San Andres, Colombia, late at night on Wednesday, June 18th, 2025, at 10:37 pm local time. Shallow earthquakes are felt more strongly than deeper ones as they are closer to the surface. 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 German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), which listed it as a magnitude 4.7 earthquake. Other agencies reporting the same quake include The Colombian Geological Service (SGC) at magnitude 4.7, the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake at magnitude 4.7, and The Colombian Geological Service (SGC) at magnitude 5.0.Generally quakes of this magnitude are recorded by more than one agency and the results can vary, with subsequent reports that come in after the first one often showing more accuracy.Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake was probably felt by many people in the area of the epicenter. It should not have caused significant damage, other than objects falling from shelves, broken windows, etc. In Mountain (pop. 2,400) located 48 km from the epicenter, the quake should have been felt as light shaking.Weak shaking might have been felt in San Andres (pop. 58,300) located 78 km from the epicenter.VolcanoDiscovery will automatically update magnitude and depth if these change and follow up if other significant news about the quake become available.
