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.Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should have been widely felt by almost everyone in the area of the epicenter. It might have caused light to moderate damage.Moderate shaking probably occurred in Tabalosos (pop. 14,700) located 10 km from the epicenter, and Tabaloslos (pop. 7,300) 16 km away.In Lamas (pop. 13,700) located 28 km from the epicenter, Moyobamba (pop. 50,100) 39 km away, La Banda (pop. 24,900) 50 km away, and Rioja (pop. 25,100) 53 km away, the quake should have been felt as light shaking.Weak shaking might have been felt in Yurimaguas (pop. 41,800) located 84 km from the epicenter, and Juanjui (pop. 37,700) 97 km away.VolcanoDiscovery will automatically update magnitude and depth if these change and follow up if other significant news about the quake become available.

It is commonly measured on the so-called Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale (MMI) ranging from 1 (not felt) to 10 (extreme shaking), and given in Roman numerals as I,II,...IX, X, and often displayed with color codes ranging from light blue to dark red.Earthquake intensity depends mainly on the magnitude and depth of the quake as well as the distance from the epicenter: The further away, the less shaking intensity occurs.Read more about the MMI scale!Number of reports by intensityShaking intensityNumber of reportsMin-Max distance from epicenter (*)Average distance (*)III: Weak shaking1296–296 km (184–184 mi)296 km (184 mi)Notes(*) Reports are filtered to exclude those that are likely highly inaccurate or esaggerated.Only reports with latitude/longitude coordinate positions given (1 in total) could be used for geographic statistics.I didn't feel itI felt this quakeIf you were near the epicenter and felt it, please share your experience and submit a short "I felt it" report!

When aftershocks are detected, we will update this section.What are aftershocks?Larger earthquakes (above magnitude 5 or so) such as this one are usually followed by smaller ones known as aftershocks that occur in the same area during the days, weeks, months or even years after the main shock.[More info]What about this quake?Based on its magnitude, the fault that was active during the quake likely ruptured beneath a surface area of approximately 16 km2 (6 square miles) as a first-order estimate. The length of the rupture zone thus was probably around 7 km (4 mi).[More info]Recorded aftershocks, latest first (0 quake)Jul 6, 2025 06:27 am (Lima)12 minutes ago5.234 km0 km - This quakeLoreto, 68 km N of Moyobamba, Region de San Martin, PeruMain Shock (this quake)MoreMap of aftershocksPrevious quakes in the same area of this earthquakeStrongest in 1 year 13 weeksThe earthquake was the strongest to hit this part of Peru in over 1 year 13 weeks.
