Two Earthquakes in Peru's Andes Kill at Least Five, Injure Over 20

Analysed 20 Jul 2026·16 sources analysed·Peru·General
Two Earthquakes in Peru's Andes Kill at Least Five, Injure Over 20PreviousNext

Two earthquakes struck Peru's Andes region on Saturday night, with magnitudes reported between 5.1 and 5.6. The tremors, centered near Sicaya in Huancayo and Chupaca province, killed at least five to six people, injured over 20, and displaced around 300. Many adobe homes were destroyed or damaged, prompting emergency response and shelter provision. Peru, located on the Pacific Ring of Fire, frequently experiences seismic activity due to tectonic plate movements beneath the region.
