Overview
- The main event in this sequence, recorded Tuesday at 10:58 a.m., was a magnitude 5.0 with an epicenter 13 km northeast of Zorritos in Tumbes, at 55 km depth and intensity III–IV.
- Civil defense agencies report no injuries or structural damage and keep watch for aftershocks.
- Smaller quakes also struck other regions, including a 3.4 near Santa Lucía in Puno earlier Tuesday, a 4.2 near Barranca in Loreto late Tuesday morning, a 3.5 in Cusco early Wednesday, and a 4.0 near Palpa in Ica on Thursday.
- The national geophysics institute (IGP) posts rapid bulletins with report IDs on X, and an intensity of III–IV means light to moderate shaking that people feel but that seldom harms buildings.
- IGP chief Hernando Tavera urges building on safe ground and following technical codes, noting that sound construction cuts risk even though quakes cannot be predicted.
