A moderately strong, 5.6-magnitude earthquake struck near Lima, Peru on Sunday, according to the United States Geological Survey.
The temblor happened at 11:35 a.m. Peru Standard Time about 14 miles southwest of Callao, Peru, data from the agency shows.
As seismologists review available data, they may revise the earthquake’s reported magnitude. Additional information collected about the earthquake may also prompt U.S.G.S. scientists to update the shake-severity map.
