USGS reports magnitude 7.4 earthquake near San José del Palmar, Colombia

This is a U.S. Geological Survey event alert for a magnitude 7.4 earthquake located about 5 km south of San José del Palmar, Colombia. No article text accompanies the alert — only the headline and a link to the USGS executive event page — so no substantive summary of impact, depth, or aftershocks can be written without pulling additional data from the source. Note: this is a natural-hazard bulletin, not a cybersecurity or technology story, and falls outside this publication’s editorial scope.
