Bogota, Colombia – A strong earthquake rattled Colombia’s west coast Monday, but there were no immediate reports of injury or damage, officials said.

The magnitude 6.3 quake struck at 1:50 p.m. deep under the Pacific Ocean floor, just off the Pacific coast near the town of Jurado, in Choco state, 260 miles northwest of Bogota.

Colombia’s National Seismological Center said there was no danger of a tsunami.

Civil Defense authorities said they had no immediate reports of any damage from the earthquake. A quake of magnitude 6.0 has the potential to cause severe damage.
