Overview
- The quake, which struck at 6:57 p.m. Thursday, measured M4.9 at 56 km depth with an epicenter 28 km south of Mala in Cañete.
- Peru’s civil defense agency reported no injuries or material damage.
- A later M3.5 tremor near Chilca at 9:28 p.m. was also recorded after the initial shock.
- Mexico’s network logged ongoing moderate activity, including M4.1 near Pinotepa Nacional on Thursday and early Friday events in Veracruz and Chiapas.
- Public alert sirens did not sound because Mexico’s SASMEX warns mainly for quakes near magnitude 6, and intermediate‑depth shocks like Peru’s often feel wide but cause limited surface damage in the Pacific Ring of Fire.
