Peru was shaken near Jaen, Jaén Province, Cajamarca, by an earthquake of magnitude 5.9 only 9 minutes ago, the Institute of Geophysics of the National Polytechnic School in Quito (IGEPN) reported.
The quake hit at a shallow depth of 28. km beneath the epicenter near Jaen, Jaén Province, Cajamarca, Peru, late at night on Wednesday, June 11th, 2025, at 10:36 pm local time. 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.
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 Sallique (pop. 890) located 15 km from the epicenter.
In Huancabamba (pop. 8,600) located 34 km from the epicenter, San Ignacio (pop. 7,900) 58 km away, Pueblo Nuevo (pop. 12,500) 62 km away, Jaen (pop. 52,500) 64 km away, and Chulucanas (pop. 68,800) 101 km away, the quake should have been felt as light shaking.
