WASHINGTON – A moderate earthquake measuring 5.6 hit an area in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of northern Peru Sunday, but there were no immediate reports of casualties or damage, the US government announced.
The epicenter of the tremor, which occurred at 1:57 local time (0657 GMT was located 158 kilometers (98 miles) west southwest of Trujillo, Peru, according to the US Geological Survey.
The reading was based on the open-ended Moment Magnitude scale, now used by US seismologists, which measures the area of the fault that ruptured and the total energy released.
