巴拿马遭遇7.7级强震 多座建筑受损

巴拿马于2026年10月9日遭遇7.7级强地震1，震源位于南部皮塔洛萨阿里巴社区西南约10公里处，深度10公里1。地震引发了多次余震，其中最强达6.6级1。巴拿马总统何塞·劳尔·穆利诺将此次地震称为"重大灾难"1。

地震对中部多个省份造成建筑损毁，受灾地区主要集中在韦拉瓜斯、埃雷拉和洛斯桑托斯1。其中，1938年被宣布为国家历史遗产的圣阿塔纳西奥教堂在地震中坍塌1。道路基础设施也遭到破坏1。美国海啸警报系统曾对包括巴拿马、哥伦比亚、哥斯达黎加、厄瓜多尔、秘鲁、尼加拉瓜、危地马拉、萨尔瓦多、墨西哥和夏威夷在内的太平洋沿岸地区发布预警，后来予以取消1。

关键基础设施总体保持运营。巴拿马运河在震后初期未报告损害并继续正常运营1，托库门国际机场虽一度停运，但随后重新开放1。

A powerful 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck Panama on October 9, 2026, with its epicenter located approximately 10 kilometers southwest of the Pitahaya Arriba community in the southern part of the country at a depth of 10 kilometers 1. The initial quake was followed by a 6.6-magnitude aftershock and multiple additional tremors 1.

The earthquake caused substantial damage across central provinces including Veraguas, Herrera, and Los Santos 1. Among the structures damaged was the historic San Atanasio Church, which collapsed; the church had been declared a national heritage site in 1938 1. Roads in the affected regions also sustained damage 1. Panama's President José Raúl Mulino characterized the event as a "major disaster" 1.

The U.S. tsunami warning system initially issued alerts for multiple Pacific coastal nations—Panama, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Peru, Nicaragua, Guatemala, El Salvador, Mexico, and Hawaii—though these warnings were subsequently canceled 1. Meanwhile, the Panama Canal reported no initial damage and continued normal operations 1. Tocumen International Airport temporarily suspended services but later resumed operations 1.
