What happened
A 5.5-magnitude earthquake struck Peru’s central Andes near Sicaya in Huancayo province at 9:24 p.m. Saturday, killing at least six people. More than 30 people were injured and about 300 residents were displaced after homes and a church collapsed in the mountainous Junín region east of Lima. The quake’s epicenter was about 2 kilometers west-southwest of Sicaya and 10 kilometers deep; Peru’s seismic agency recorded two shocks measured at 5.1 and 3.7. Civil defense officials said the number of missing people had not been determined.
