A strong earthquake measuring 6.1 on the Richter scale struck Panama on Tuesday morning, triggering widespread panic among residents. According to the National Center for Seismology (NCS), the tremors were recorded at 4:50:37 AM Indian Standard Time (IST). The hypocenter of the quake was pinpointed at a shallow depth of approximately 10 kilometers beneath the Earth's surface. Initial assessments indicate no immediate reports of major loss of life or property damage resulting from this fresh shock. This latest seismic activity follows a massive 7.7-magnitude earthquake that struck Panama late Friday night, which was succeeded by a continuous series of strong aftershocks across the region. In the wake of the natural calamity, transportation and flight operations across Panama have experienced severe disruptions. As a precautionary safety measure, administrative authorities have temporarily suspended service on two of the nation's primary metro lines. Local authorities and disaster management teams remain on high alert as they continue to monitor the situation.
