A 7.5-magnitude earthquake shook the remote Amazon region of northern Peru early on Sunday and was felt as far as Lima in the centre of the country and southern Ecuador, causing damage to homes near the epicentre with no casualties reported.
The quake was felt throughout central and northern Peru. Some residents left their homes as a precaution, according to local radio and television reports. Walter Culqui, mayor of the town of Jalca Grande in Chachapoyas province, said several houses had been damaged, leaving three non-serious injuries. Part of the church tower in the area collapsed, he said.
This is groundbreaking reporting
Oh my God I hope all those Amazon employees are okay!
