Lima, Dec. 29 (SANA) At least 25 people were injured in a 6.0-magnitude earthquake that struck Peru’s Ancash region north of the capital, Lima, authorities reported.
Agence France-Presse (AFP) quoted local authorities as saying that the earthquake, which occurred Sunday near the coastal city of Chimbote, caused injuries to at least 25 people and inflicted damage to the main hospital, as well as numerous homes and schools in the city, which has a population of about half a million.
Peru, with a population of around 34 million, lies within the Pacific “Ring of Fire,” a zone of high seismic activity that extends along the western coast of the Americas. The country was previously hit by a devastating earthquake in 1970 in the Ancash region, which claimed approximately 67,000 lives.
