Moderate yet deep magnitude 5.0 earthquake 61 km southeast of Juanjui, Peru

Peru was shaken near Juanjui, Provincia de Mariscal Cáceres, Region de San Martin, by an earthquake of magnitude 5.0 only 28 minutes ago, the United States Geological Survey reported.
The quake hit at an intermediate depth of 126.3 km beneath the epicenter near Juanjui, Provincia de Mariscal Cáceres, Region de San Martin, Peru, after midnight on Monday, October 24th, 2022, at 12:04 am local time. The strength of the earthquake may have been tempered by its relative great depth below the surface, which makes it feel weaker in absolute terms. 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.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from The Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS) which listed the quake at magnitude 5.0 as well. Other agencies reporting the same quake include the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) at magnitude 4.9, the Institute of Geophysics of the National Polytechnic School in Quito (IGEPN) at magnitude 5.7, the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake at magnitude 5.0, and the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) at magnitude 5.0.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Santa Elena (pop. 250) located 39 km from the epicenter, Huicungo (pop. 6,800) 58 km away, Bellavista (pop. 15,200) 59 km away, Juanjui (pop. 37,700) 61 km away, Picota (pop. 6,700) 63 km away, Saposoa (pop. 14,900) 82 km away, and Tocache (pop. 29,000) 83 km away.
