A Magnitude 6.7 Earthquake Has Shaken Peru’s Southern Andes, No Immediate Damages Reported
Officials said more than 100,000 people may have felt moderate shaking, while no tsunami threat or major damage was reported.
- On Thursday, a magnitude 6.7 earthquake shook Peru's southern Andes Mountains, centered 24 miles northwest of Upahuacho, according to The United States Geological Survey.
- Peru's location within the Pacific Ring makes it highly susceptible to frequent seismic activity, an area of recurring tremors monitored by The USGS.
- Tremors from the event were felt in southern regions including Ica and Arequipa, with The USGS reporting no immediate damage from the 66.7-kilometer deep quake.
- Following a deadly earthquake in Colombia last week, President Abelardo De La Espriella stated on Wednesday that at least 314 people died in that event.
- Historical records underscore the region's seismic danger, notably the 2007 magnitude 7.9 earthquake in Ica that killed nearly 600 people.
