The earthquake hit about 75km southeast of the town of Lagunas, along the Amazon basin near the border with Brazil.
“Some casualties and damage are possible and the impact should be relatively localized,” USGS said in a preliminary assessment. Quakes of similar depth “typically cause less damage on the ground surface …may be felt at great distance from their epicenters,” it later added. Peruvian President Martin Vizcarra urged citizens “to remain calm” in a message on his official Twitter account. “We’re evaluating the affected areas,” he said.
The shockwave of Sunday’s tremor also extended to neighbouring Ecuador, where power cuts were reported in parts of the Amazon region.
