An unspecified number of injuries were also reported.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The epicenter was in San Jos\u00e9 del Palmar, a community of about 4,800 people in the Choc\u00f3 region about 250 miles west of Colombia&#8217;s capital, Bogot\u00e1, the U.S. Geological Survey and Colombia&#8217;s counterpart reported. USGS also reported a 5.0 magnitude aftershock less than an hour later.<\/p>\n<p>The governor of Choc\u00f3 province said in a\u00a0post on X\u00a0that there are injuries and significant damage to buildings in the city of Quibd\u00f3, where about 130,000 people live. Gov. Nubia Carolina C\u00f3rdoba-Curi said they are currently assessing the damage.<\/p>\n<p>The earthquake prompted evacuations as far away as Bogot\u00e1.
