An earthquake of magnitude 5.5 occurred early morning on Thursday, May 8th, 2025, at 6:22 am local time near Tumbes, Provincia de Tumbes, Peru, as reported by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC).
According to preliminary data, the quake was located at a moderately shallow depth of 45. km. 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 German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), which listed it as a magnitude 5.5 earthquake as well. Other agencies reporting the same quake include The Colombian Geological Service (SGC) at magnitude 5.2, and the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake at magnitude 5.5.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake was probably felt by many people in the area of the epicenter. It should not have caused significant damage, other than objects falling from shelves, broken windows, etc.
In Nueva Esperanza (pop. 700) located 9 km from the epicenter, Zorritos (pop. 12,300) 10 km away, Tumbes (pop. 96,900) 23 km away, Zarumilla (pop. 16,900) 43 km away, Aguas Verdes (pop. 9,100) 47 km away, and Huaquillas (pop. 39,800) 49 km away, the quake should have been felt as light
