A powerful 7.4 magnitude earthquake struck western Colombia on Monday, killing at least 164 people and trapping many others under rubble. Rescuers worked through the night and into Tuesday, searching for survivors in the country's coffee-growing region, which suffered the worst damage. Authorities warned that the death toll could still climb. The earthquake devastated parts of the area, and cities including Cali, Pereira and Manizales were among the hardest hit. Emergency teams were digging through collapsed buildings, while residents in affected areas faced the destruction of homes and infrastructure. The full extent of the damage was still being assessed, with many people believed to be buried in the debris. The quake is among the strongest to hit the region in recent years, and the response is focused on locating survivors amid the wreckage.
