巴拿马强震灾情盘点：27人受伤、无人死亡，147次余震不断；美国应巴拿马请求动员驰援
巴拿马10月9日发生的7.7级强震过去两天后，灾情盘点逐渐清晰。据CNN、法新社等媒体报道，巴拿马应急行动中心主任雷内·加西亚（René García）表示，主震之后已记录到147次余震，其中数次达到6.1级和6.6级，震感强烈的余震迫使当局推迟对受损建筑的结构安全检查。卫生部门确认，地震造成至少27人受伤，迄今没有死亡或失踪报告。这一结果与美国地质调查局（USGS）灾后发出的PAGER红色警报形成对照——该系统当时估计可能出现重大人员伤亡与经济损失。
灾情最重的仍是南部沿海的科克莱省（Coclé）。佩诺诺梅（Penonomé）一座教堂的钟楼部分坍塌、多栋建筑外墙崩落；度假城镇普拉亚贝纳奥（Playa Venao）一栋多层建筑整体垮塌，压毁楼下多辆汽车。巴拿马运河一带的百年大桥（Centennial Bridge）在地震中剧烈晃动，但运河管理局确认通航作业未受影响、照常运行。首都巴拿马城两条地铁线路一度停运疏散乘客，托库门国际机场曾短暂关闭检查、随后恢复运营；地震最初触发的东太平洋海啸警报已于当天解除。
总统穆利诺（José Raúl Mulino）此前称这是一场"重大灾害"，指出部分道路"完全坍塌"，并赴佩诺诺梅一所收治伤员的医院视察——该院病人一度被疏散到户外救治。政府已在首都奥马尔公园（Omar Park）等地设立捐赠物资收集点，各省政府办公室也作为收集点开放。
国际援助方面，美国国务卿鲁比奥（Marco Rubio）在社交平台X上表示，华盛顿正密切关注灾情，美国与巴拿马人民站在一起；国务院应巴拿马政府请求，正快速动员资源与人员前往协助，并公布了供受影响美国公民使用的领事求助热线。美军南方司令部人员已与巴拿马安全机构一道向灾区运送、分发救灾物资。印度外长苏杰生（S. Jaishankar）也发表声明向巴拿马表示声援。
对南加州读者而言，这场强震的余波主要是出行层面：巴拿马是美洲重要的航空与航运枢纽，机场运营已恢复、运河通航正常，暂未出现对美国西海岸的海啸威胁（美国国家气象局此前已明确表示加州沿岸无海啸风险）。但147次余震仍在持续，灾区建筑安全评估尚未完成，伤亡数字仍有上修可能。

Panama Quake Toll Holds at 27 Injured, No Deaths, as 147 Aftershocks Rattle the Country and U.S. Aid Mobilizes
Two days after a magnitude-7.7 earthquake struck southern Panama on Oct. 9, the casualty picture has come into focus. René García, director of Panama's Emergency Operations Center, told CNN the mainshock has been followed by 147 aftershocks, some reaching magnitudes 6.1 and 6.6, and that authorities are waiting for the tremors to subside before completing structural inspections of damaged buildings. Health officials say at least 27 people were injured, with no fatalities or missing persons reported so far — a notably lighter toll than the U.S. Geological Survey's initial PAGER red alert had suggested was possible.
The heaviest damage is in Coclé province on the southern coast. In Penonomé, a church steeple partially collapsed and building facades crumbled; in the resort town of Playa Venao, a multi-story building collapsed onto cars below. The Panama Canal Authority said shipping operations continued normally, while Panama City suspended two metro lines and Tocumen International Airport briefly halted operations before resuming flights. A tsunami warning issued for parts of the eastern Pacific was lifted the same day.
President José Raúl Mulino has called the quake a major disaster, noting that some roads completely collapsed. The government has opened donation collection centers, including one at Omar Park in the capital. On the international side, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Washington is closely monitoring the situation and that the State Department is rapidly mobilizing resources and personnel to assist at the Panamanian government's request. Personnel from U.S. Southern Command have been delivering relief supplies alongside Panamanian security institutions.
