At least 111 people are dead and the death toll continues to rise following a powerful earthquake that rocked the South American country of Colombia Monday morning.
The U.S. Geological Survey gave the tremor a preliminary rating of 7.4 and said it struck at a depth of more than 68 miles.
It is affecting millions of people. Dozens of buildings have collapsed, residents are trapped under debris and people have been forced to evacuate their homes.
Local officials confirmed that at least 40 people were killed in the Risaralda region, where the hard-hit city of Pereira is located, and 27 people in the Valle del Cauca region, where Colombia's third-biggest city, Cali, is located. At least three of those killed in Valle del Cauca were children, the governor said.
Authorities also confirmed nine people were killed in Choco, two more in the Caldas region and a 73-year-old in the Antioquia region. Many more people across the country were injured.
