Colombia Rattled by 6.2 Magnitude Quake

Subscribe
Residents in several cities, including the capital Bogota, reported shaking buildings, but there have not been reports of deaths or injuries.

The earthquake's epicenter was located near the city of Bucaramanga, about 170 miles northeast of the capital, but it was also about 91 miles underground, which limited the severity, Reuters reported. 

Bogota residents poured into the streets in panic and cellphone networks were jammed in the minutes following the temblor, though there were no reports of significant damage. 

Colombia is located within the "ring of fire," a seismically active region where quakes are relatively common.
