M7.1 Earthquake Near Morón, Venezuela — Signal Detected Near Colombian Border

A magnitude 7.1 earthquake has been detected approximately 21 km west of Morón, Venezuela, placing the epicenter near the Venezuelan coast and some distance from Colombia's major BPO hubs (Bogotá, Medellín, Barranquilla). No news coverage has emerged to confirm structural damage, casualties, or service disruptions in Colombia. Given Colombia's very high BPO density, the situation warrants monitoring to confirm whether any shaking was felt in northeastern Colombian cities such as Barranquilla, but current data does not support operational disruption.
