A 7.6 magnitude earthquake struck the southern coast of Panama on Friday, according to the United States Geological Survey (USGS). The initial reports indicated a magnitude of 8, which was later revised. Following the initial tremor, a 5.8 magnitude aftershock was reported by Reuters. The USGS has subsequently issued tsunami warnings for coastal areas spanning multiple countries, from Mexico to Colombia. Authorities are urging residents along the Pacific coast to heed evacuation orders and remain vigilant. The potential for dangerous tsunami waves is a significant concern in the wake of the earthquake. Further aftershocks are possible, and assessments of the damage in Panama are underway.
