Earthquake today, June 9 -- A strong but shallow earthquake of 6.3 magnitude rattled Bogota in central Colombia, swaying buildings and forcing panicked Colombians out in the streets. While no casualty has been reported, multiple buildings suffered damages.

The quake struck at 8:08 am about 170 kilometers (105 miles) east of the capital Bogota and was felt across much of the country.

The United States Geological Survey said the quake struck at a depth of nine kilometers (5.5 miles) near Paratebueno. The tremors were felt as far away as Medellin and Cali, near Colombia's Pacific coast.
