7.5-magnitude earthquake shakes north Peru

The strong quake hit at 5:52 am at a depth of 131 kilometers , according to the Geophysical Institute of Peru.The epicenter was 98 kilometers east of the small Peruvian town of Santa Maria de Nieva in the Peruvian Amazon -- a sparsely populated area inhabited by Amazonian indigenous people.

The deep quake was felt in almost half of the country, including coastal and Andean regions, and the capital Lima. "All my solidarity with the people of Amazonas in the face of the strong earthquake," Peruvian President Pedro Castillo said on Twitter. "You are not alone, brothers."In Lima, more than 1,000 kilometers south of the epicenter, the tremor was felt with less intensity but lasted long enough to prompt some people to take to the streets. The Peruvian capital, with a population of 10 million, had been shaken hours before by a 5.2 magnitude earthquake.
