Over 80 aftershocks were recorded, with one measuring above magnitude 6.0. The quake's epicenter was around 10 kilometers from Pitaloza Arriba, in central Herrera province. Damage was concentrated in Herrera, Coclé, Los Santos, and Veraguas provinces, with at least 27 people suffering minor injuries. The Church of San Atanasio, a historic site, collapsed during the tremor. Officials continue to assess the full extent of the damage and ongoing aftershocks.",
