00:00Days after a magnitude 7.7 earthquake, another powerful tremor struck Panama.
00:05The latest earthquake measured magnitude 6.1, according to seismic monitoring data.
00:10It occurred near Rio Grande on October 12, at a depth of roughly 10 kilometers.
00:16That renewed shaking followed Friday's major earthquake,
00:19which damaged buildings and disrupted transport across parts of the country.
00:23Reports described damage to homes, schools, health facilities, roads, and public buildings.
00:30Panama's metro services were temporarily suspended,
00:33and the country's main international airport briefly closed before operations resumed.
00:38The earlier earthquake also triggered tsunami concerns across parts of the Pacific region.
00:43However, the U.S. tsunami warning system later confirmed that no tsunami warning,
00:48advisory, watch, or threat remained in effect for that event.
00:52The latest tremor comes as communities continue dealing with the effects of the earlier disaster.
00:57A magnitude 6.1 earthquake does not automatically mean a tsunami will follow.
01:03Authorities and residents should rely on current official earthquake updates
01:07and local emergency guidance as seismic activity continues.
