Just 8 minutes ago, a 5.8-magnitude earthquake struck near Chimbote, Provincia de Santa, Ancash, Peru. The tremor was recorded in the evening on Saturday, December 27th, 2025, at 9:51 pm local time, at a shallow depth of 10. km below the surface.
The event was filed by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), the first seismological agency to report it.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from France’s Réseau National de Surveillance Sismique (RéNaSS) which listed the quake at magnitude 5.7. Other agencies reporting the same quake include The Colombian Geological Service (SGC) at magnitude 6.1, the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake at magnitude 5.8, and the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) at magnitude 5.8.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should have been widely felt by almost everyone in the area of the epicenter. It might have caused light to moderate damage.
Moderate shaking probably occurred in Puerto Santa (pop. 14,100) located 20 km from the epicenter, Coishco (pop. 15,100) 24 km away, and Chimbote (pop. 317,000) 28 km away.
In Viru (pop. 20,800) located 61 km from the epicenter, Moche (pop. 22,600) 90 km away, Trujillo (pop. 919,900) 97 km away, and Laredo (pop. 24,700) 98 km away, the quake should have been felt as light shaking.

A magnitude 4.7 earthquake near Bukittinggi, Kota Bukittinggi, Provinsi Sumatera Barat, Indonesia, was reported only 5 minutes ago by Indonesia’s Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency, considered the main national agency that monitors seismic activity in Indonesia. The earthquake occurred at a shallow depth of 10. km beneath the epicenter in the morning on Sunday, December 28th, 2025, at 9:15 am local time. 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 citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake, which listed it as a magnitude 4.7 earthquake as well.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should not have caused any significant damage, but was probably felt by many people as light vibration in the area of the epicenter.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Bukittinggi (pop. 121,000) located 35 km from the epicenter, Padangpanjang (pop. 58,600) 48 km away, Pariaman (pop. 92,200) 52 km away, and Payakumbuh (pop. 139,600) 60 km away.
Other towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Padang (pop. 909,000) located 93 km from the epicenter,

An earthquake of magnitude 4.6 occurred in the morning on Sunday, December 28th, 2025, at 9:11 am local time near Bukittinggi, Kota Bukittinggi, Provinsi Sumatera Barat, Indonesia, as reported by Indonesia’s Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency.
According to preliminary data, the quake was located 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 citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake, which listed it as a magnitude 4.6 earthquake as well.
