Just 35 minutes ago, a 4.4-magnitude earthquake occurred near Colchani, Potosi Province, Bolivia. The earthquake was recorded just after midnight on Saturday, July 17, 2021 at 12:49 am local time, at a medium to significant depth of 241.9 kilometers below the surface, and the event was recorded by the US Geological Survey, the first seismological agency to report about it. A second report was released later by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Center (EMSC), which also classified it as a 4.4-magnitude earthquake, and according to preliminary calculations, we don’t expect many people to feel the earthquake and it didn’t cause it. Any harm. In Kolchane (population 12,000, 59 km), and Uyuni (pop 10,300, 79 km), the earthquake may not have been felt.
