A magnitude 7.4 earthquake that struck western Colombia on Monday has killed at least 111 people, prompting the government to declare a state of national disaster and deploy soldiers to affected areas, President Abelardo de la Espriella said. President Abelardo de la Espriella said the earthquake left at least 87 people injured and caused damage to roughly 1,600 buildings, with at least 61 structures destroyed. Alarms sounded across the capital, and residents left buildings and gathered in the streets as a precaution. Videos from areas affected by the earthquake showed buildings collapsing and power lines swaying during the tremor. De la Espriella announced Tuesday that the confirmed death toll had reached at least 111, while dozens of other people had been injured.
