Wait 5 sec.

The European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) reported a magnitude 5.2 quake in Peru near Soledad, Condorcanqui, Amazonas, just 8 minutes ago. The earthquake struck early Thursday morning, September 10, 2026, at 1:42 am local time, at an intermediate depth of 101. km. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake may be revised over the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review the data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their reports.A second report was later issued by the citizen-seismograph network RaspberryShake, which also listed it as a magnitude 5.2 earthquake. A third agency, the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), reported the same quake at magnitude 5.2.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 area of the epicenter. Weak shaking may have been felt in Soledad (pop. 360), located 49 km from the epicenter.VolcanoDiscovery will automatically update the magnitude and depth if they change and follow up if other significant news about the quake becomes available.
