The Servicio Geológico Colombiano reported a new earthquake in the department of Chocó on the morning of Saturday, August 29, 2026.[^2]

The SGC had already confirmed a separate tremor in the same department earlier in the week, recording a magnitude of 3.0 on the morning of August 26, 2026.[^1] The August 29 report carries no magnitude figure in the available record.

The read here is that two events in Chocó within the space of days points to continued seismic activity in the department, though the record does not say whether the two tremors are related or what their depths were.
