A magnitude 6 to 6.1 earthquake struck Panama on October 12-13, following a major 7.7 quake on October 9 that caused significant damage and injuries. The tremors, occurring at depths between 10 and 35 km, triggered over 100 aftershocks and led Panama to declare a national state of emergency. At least 27 people were injured and nearly 900 homes damaged, with affected provinces including Los Santos, Coclé, Veraguas, and Herrera. India expressed solidarity, while the US Embassy warned of possible aftershocks and tsunami risks.
