A magnitude 5.5 earthquake near Minas de Marcona, Nasca Province, Ica, Peru, was reported only 6 minutes ago by the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), considered one of the key international agencies that monitor seismic activity worldwide. The earthquake occurred at a shallow depth of 10. km beneath the epicenter around noon on Tuesday, September 23rd, 2025, at 12:39 pm 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.
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 San Juan (pop. 12,800) located 42 km from the epicenter, Acari (pop. 4,400) 50 km away, and Minas de Marcona (pop. 15,500) 56 km away, the quake should have been felt as light shaking.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Nazca (pop. 23,600) located 97 km from the epicenter.
VolcanoDiscovery will automatically update magnitude and depth if these change and follow up if other significant news about the quake become available. If you’re in the area, please send us your experience through
