An earthquake of magnitude 5.1 occurred only 21 minutes ago 67 km northeast of Chulucanas, Peru, the United States Geological Survey reported.The quake hit at an intermediate depth of 72.25 km beneath the epicenter near Chulucanas, Morropón Province, Piura, Peru, early morning on Saturday, June 13th, 2026, at 1:35 am local time. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.Our monitoring service identified a second report from the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) which listed the quake at magnitude 5.1 as well. Other agencies reporting the same quake include the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake at magnitude 5.0, the Institute of Geophysics of the National Polytechnic School in Quito (IGEPN) at magnitude 5.6, and the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) at magnitude 5.0.Generally quakes of this magnitude are recorded by more than one agency and the results can vary, with subsequent reports that come in after the first one often showing more accuracy.Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should not have caused any significant damage, but was probably felt by many people as light vibration in the area of the epicenter. Weak shaking might have been felt in Suyo (pop. 990) located 0 km from the epicenter, Las Lomas (pop. 9,500) 31 km away, Tambo Grande (pop. 30,000) 60 km away, Chulucanas (pop. 68,800) 67 km away, Querecotillo (pop. 25,400) 80 km away, Sullana (pop. 160,800) 87 km away, Marcavelica (pop. 25,600) 88 km away, and Piura (pop. 484,500) 104 km away.VolcanoDiscovery will automatically update magnitude and depth if these change and follow up if other significant news about the quake become available.
