A moderately shallow magnitude 5.2 earthquake was reported in the morning near Huarmey, Huarmey Province, Ancash, Peru.According to the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), the quake struck on Monday, November 2, 2026, at 10:28 am local time, at a moderately shallow depth of 55 km. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake may be revised over the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their reports.A second report was later issued by the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), which listed it as a magnitude 4.9 earthquake. A third agency, the citizen-seismograph network RaspberryShake, reported the same quake at magnitude 4.9.Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should not have caused any significant damage but was probably felt by many people as light vibrations in the epicentral area. Weak shaking might have been felt in Puerto Huarmey (pop. 810), located 45 km from the epicenter; Huarmey (pop. 16,200), 48 km away; Paramonga (pop. 27,600), 98 km away; Barranca (pop. 46,300), 109 km away; and Chimbote (pop. 317,000), 123 km away.VolcanoDiscovery will automatically update the magnitude and depth if they change and follow up if other significant news about the quake becomes available.
