An earthquake recorded in Colombia was felt in Manaus, leading residents to report vibrations in buildings across the Amazon capital. According to witnesses, elevators stalled and blinds shook during the tremor, which caused concern among residents.

Videos shared by locals show chandeliers and objects swaying, especially on higher floors. The movement was intense enough to prompt the evacuation of some buildings in the city, although details regarding damage or injuries have not yet been reported.
