A shallow magnitude 4.9 earthquake was reported in the afternoon near Pucallpa, Provincia de Coronel Portillo, Ucayali, Peru.
According to the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), the quake hit on Sunday 1 August 2021 at 5:17 pm local time at a shallow depth of 10 km. Shallow earthquakes are felt more strongly than deeper ones as they are closer to the surface. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
A second report was later issued by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), which listed it as a magnitude 4.8 earthquake. A third agency, the United States Geological Survey, reported the same quake at magnitude 4.8.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Pucallpa (pop. 310,800) located 117 km from the epicenter, and San Fernando (pop. 67,800) 118 km away.
