Colombia's civil aviation authority, Aeronáutica Civil, says operations have been suspended at least seven airports in Colombia following the earthquake.


It says damage has been reported at Pereira, Manizales, Quibdó, Armenia, Cartago, and Buenaventura airports, and so operations have been suspended for safety reasons.


In addition, operations at Popayán Airport has been suspended due to the presence of ash from the Puracé volcano.


The agency says it will "continue to monitor the situation and will report any developments in a timely manner".
