The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) reported a 6.0 magnitude earthquake that occurred in Panama 7 km north of the town of La Tronosa. The epicenter was located at coordinates 7.507° N and 80.599° W, with the focus at a depth of approximately 10 km, which is classified as a shallow earthquake capable of causing more pronounced ground shaking at the surface. The event occurred on October 10, 2026 at 04:14:01 Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), the same time recorded in the epicenter region. The PAGER earthquake impact assessment system assigned the event a yellow alert level, indicating a probability of limited damage and localized impact. According to ShakeMap data, the maximum calculated intensity of ground shaking reached VIII on the Mercalli intensity scale—this corresponds to significant structural damage in the epicenter zone. Meanwhile, according to the "Did You Feel It?" (DYFI) service, based on eyewitness reports, 23 responses were collected, recording a maximum intensity of VI, indicating strong but less destructive effects in populated areas. At the time of publication, no reports had been received regarding casualties or damage resulting from the earthquake. Panama is located in a seismically active region where several tectonic plates interact, which accounts for regular seismic activity in the country.
