A magnitude 7.6 earthquake struck Panama on October 9, leading to the temporary closure of Tocumen International Airport, the country's main airport. The airport suspended flights and evacuated passengers as a precautionary measure. The earthquake, which had its epicenter in the province of Los Santos, also caused the collapse of a cathedral tower in Penonomé and triggered a tsunami alert for several Pacific coastal countries. There were no immediate reports of casualties or significant damage.
