A 7.2 magnitude earthquake has struck near the coast of Peru. The United States Geological Survey (USGS) measured it at 7.2 on the Richter scale. However, some sources claim it was slightly less than 7.
The earthquake occurred at a depth of 10 km (about 6.2 miles), according to the German Research Center for Geosciences.
Despite the high magnitude, there have been no reports of serious loss of life or property. The risk of a severe tsunami is minimal, though a 7.2 magnitude earthquake near the coast could potentially trigger one.
In summary, the earthquake near the coast of Peru caused no significant damage to property or life, according to current reports.
