A magnitude 7.7 earthquake struck Panama on Friday with a depth of about 10‑12.6 km, centred in Herrera Province near Pitaloza Arriba, after being initially reported as magnitude 8 before revisions.

The tremor caused building damage and evacuations in several regions, including the collapse of a cathedral tower and residential balconies, and a later magnitude 6.6 aftershock hit near Tonosí later that day.

Flights at Tocumen International Airport were suspended for several hours but had resumed by Friday evening.
