A tremor measuring 4.2 degrees on the Richter scale, with epicenter 111 kilometers southwest of Huarmey in the Pacific ocean, shook Peru’s department of Áncash this morning.

According to a report from Peru’s geophysical institute, the tremor occurred at exactly 10:46 a.m.

As of now, there have been no reports of material damage or injured people. Peru’s marines said that the possibility of a tsunami along the Peruvian is extremely unlikely, according to Andina.
