Last year, the Latin American country was hit by a powerful 8.0-magnitude earthquake that left two people dead and some 30 injured.

According to preliminary information provided by the United States Geological Survey (USGS), a 6.0-magnitude earthquake has struck 32 km west-northwest of Lampa, Peru, at a depth of 153.4 km.

There were no immediate reports about any damage or casualties.

In May 2019, two people were killed and over 30 people injured after a devastating 8.0-magnitude earthquake rocked parts of Peru and neighbouring Ecuador.

According to Peruvian President Martin Vizcarra, the 2019 quake was the most powerful to hit the earthquake-prone country in 12 years.
