巴拿马城——周五下午，巴拿马南部发生两次强烈地震，震级分别为7.7级和6.6级，并伴随一系列余震，导致震中附近建筑物倒塌，并促使全国范围内进行疏散。
PANAMA CITY — Two powerful 7.7 and 6.6 magnitude earthquakes and a series of aftershocks roiled southern Panama Friday afternoon, collapsing buildings near the epicenter and prompting evacuations across the country.
美国地质调查局（USGS）表示，较早发生的那次地震在邻国哥伦比亚也有震感，震中位于埃雷拉省偏远社区皮塔洛萨阿里巴西南约10公里（6英里）处，震源深度为10公里（6英里）。
The earlier quake, felt as far away as neighboring Colombia was centered about 10 kilometers (6 miles) southwest of the remote community of Pitaloza Arriba, in the central province of Herrera, the USGS said. It struck at a depth of 10 kilometers (6 miles).
美国地质调查局最初将第一次地震的震级报告为8级，随后修正为7.6级，后又调整为7.7级。
The USGS initially reported the first quake as magnitude 8, then revised it to 7.6 and later to 7.7.
周五，巴拿马首都巴拿马城的居民明显惊恐不安，聚集在室外等待地震影响的消息。
Visibly shaken residents of Panama City, the capital, gathered outside as they waited for news of the quake’s impact on Friday.
来自震中所在的埃雷拉省的60岁居民罗森多·多明格斯通过电话告诉美联社：“我们感觉震感非常强烈，厨房里的东西都被震倒了，但我们没事，只是非常害怕。大家都在外面，吓坏了。” 多次余震持续震动巴拿马，其中包括数次震级为5.8级、5.5级和5.2级的余震。巴拿马大学的地震学家记录到45次以上余震，尽管许多震感太弱无法被察觉。
“We felt it very strongly. It knocked things over in the kitchen, but we’re okay, though we’re very scared,” Rosendo Domínguez, 60, who is from Herrera province, where the earthquake struck, told The Associated Press by phone. “Everyone is outside, scared.”Multiple aftershocks continued to rattle Panama, including several measuring magnitude 5.8, 5.5 and 5.2. Seismologists at the University of Panama recorded more than 45 aftershocks, though many were too weak to be felt.
呼吁保持冷静与建筑倒塌报告 房屋崩塌、道路出现深裂缝的画面加剧了全地区的恐慌，该地区近几个月来接连遭受毁灭性地震袭击。
Calls for calm and reports of collapsed buildings Images of crumbling buildings and deep fissures slicing through roads added to fears across a region battered by a series of devastating earthquakes in recent months.
两次接连发生的7.2级和7.5级地震于6月震动了委内瑞拉的拉瓜伊拉州，造成6500多人死亡，1.7万人无家可归。8月，哥伦比亚发生7.4级地震，造成至少289人死亡。巴拿马总统何塞·劳尔·穆利诺周五呼吁保持冷静，在X平台上写道：“发生的事情不应被用来制造恐慌或混乱。”
Two back-to-back 7.2 and 7.5 magnitude earthquakes roiled Venezuela’s La Guaira state in June killing more than 6,500 people and leaving 17,000 homeless. In August, a 7.4 magnitude earthquake in Colombia killed at least 289 people Panamanian President José Raúl Mulino called for calm on Friday, writing on X: “What happened should not be used to cause alarm or disorder.”
国家民防局的奥马尔·史密斯在Telemetro Reporta新闻频道表示，灾害集中在中部的韦拉瓜斯、埃雷拉和洛斯桑托斯省。他表示，首都没有收到损毁报告，该城市以其数百座摩天大楼而闻名。
Omar Smith of the National Civil Protection Service said on the Telemetro Reporta news channel that damage was concentrated in the central provinces of Veraguas, Herrera and Los Santos. He said there were no reports of damage in the capital, which is known for its hundreds of skyscrapers.
史密斯说，已报告多人受伤，包括在距离首都约93英里（150公里）的佩诺诺梅市，一人被部分倒塌建筑的碎片击中。他证实，该区主广场的大教堂部分倒塌并出现裂缝，州长办公大楼和双大陆酒店也受损。暂无人员伤亡报告。
Smith said several injuries have been reported, including one person struck by debris from a partially collapsed structure in the city of Penonomé, around 93 miles (150 km) from the capital. He confirmed a partial collapse and cracks at the cathedral in the district’s main square, as well as damage in the governor’s office building and the Dos Continentes hotel. No casualties were immediately reported.
当地媒体还报道，位于巴拿马洛斯桑托斯省的圣阿塔纳西奥教堂（一座殖民风格的天主教堂）已倒塌。该教堂于1938年被宣布为国家历史遗产。在其他地方，包括韦拉瓜斯省，道路上出现了大裂缝。
Local news outlets also reported that the Church of San Atanasio, a colonial-style Catholic church in Panama’s Los Santos province, had collapsed. The church was declared a National Historic Heritage Site in 1938. Elsewhere, including in Veraguas province, large fissures ran along roadways.
巴拿马城的托库门国际机场是该地区最繁忙的机场之一，2025年旅客吞吐量超过2000万，在首次地震后暂停运营，但周五下午表示将恢复运营。
Tocumen International Airport in Panama City, one of the region’s busiest airports with more than 20 million passengers in 2025, temporarily suspended operations after the first quake but said Friday afternoon that it was reopening.
巴拿马运河管理局表示，全球贸易航线的运营正常进行。该局称其首要任务是保障员工、船只和船员的安全，专业技术团队正在检查设施是否有潜在损坏。
Panama Canal Authority said operations were continuing normally along the global trade route. It said its priority was the safety of employees, vessels and crews and that specialized technical teams were inspecting facilities for possible damage.
智利复活节岛均发布海啸预警 上一次在巴拿马造成大范围破坏的强震发生在1991年。那次震级为7.4级、震中位于邻国哥斯达黎加的地震，在边境的博卡斯德尔托罗地区造成23人死亡、559人受伤，并导致数千人无家可归。
Tsunami warnings as far as Chile’s Easter Island The last major earthquake to cause widespread damage in Panama struck in 1991. A magnitude 7.4 quake, centered in nearby Costa Rica, killed 23 people, injured 559, and left thousands of people homeless in the border Bocas del Toro region.
由于科科斯板块、纳斯卡板块和加勒比板块等多个板块的相互作用，地震在巴拿马很常见，尤其是在巴拿马与哥斯达黎加的边境地区及其太平洋沿岸。巴拿马位于“环太平洋火山地震带” 之上，这是一个环绕太平洋盆地、长约4万公里（2.5万英里）的火山和断层带，世界上大多数地震都发生在此处。
Earthquakes are common, especially along Panama’s border with Costa Rica and its Pacific coast, because of the interaction of several tectonic plates, including Cocos, Nazca, and Caribbean plates. Panama lies along the“Ring of Fire,”a 40,000-kilometer (25,000-mile) arc of volcanoes and fault lines around the Pacific Basin, where most of the world’s earthquakes occur.
美国国家气象局于周五解除了地震发生后不久发布的针对巴拿马、哥伦比亚、厄瓜多尔、尼加拉瓜和危地马拉沿海的海啸预警。萨尔瓦多和智利针对复活节岛发布的警报也已解除。
The National Weather Service lifted a tsunami warning issued shortly after the quakes on Friday for the coasts of Panama, Colombia, Ecuador, Nicaragua and Guatemala. Alerts issued by El Salvador and Chile for Easter Island were also lifted.
巴拿马大学地球科学研究所所内斯特·卢克表示，预计卡尼亚斯岛和洛斯桑托斯省南部沿海将出现1至3米（3至10英尺）高的海浪，但预计除此之外不会出现巨浪。他称，海水已淹没卡尼亚斯岛沿海附近的民房。
Néstor Luque, director of the Geosciences Institute at the University of Panama, said waves between 3 to 10 feet (1 and 3 meters) were expected around Isla Cañas and the southern coast of Los Santos province, but major waves weren’t expected beyond that. Seawater had already reached homes near the coast on Isla Cañas, he said.
周五下午，周边国家纷纷发来慰问信息。哥伦比亚总统阿韦拉多·德拉埃斯普里耶拉——其国近期也遭遇地震——表示，在这段他称为“困难时期”里，他与巴拿马人民及政府站在一起。“巴拿马并不孤单！你们可以指望哥伦比亚的支持，以及我们提供一切必要援助的充分意愿，”他在X平台上写道。厄瓜多尔总统丹尼尔·诺沃亚也向“我们的巴拿马兄弟们”伸出援手。
Nearby countries sent messages of support Friday afternoon. Colombian President Abelardo de la Espriella whose country was recently hit by earthquakes, expressed his solidarity with the Panamanian people and their government during what he called “difficult times.”“Panama is not alone! You can count on Colombia’s support and our full willingness to provide whatever assistance is needed,” he wrote on X. Ecuadorian President Daniel Noboa also offered assistance for “our Panamanian brothers.”
