WORLDWIDE EARTHQUAKE REPORT JUNE 29_2024
As already mentioned a very strong magnitude 6.1 earthquake occurred in the South Pacific Ocean near the coast of Peru. This quake was likely an aftershock of the 7.2 quake 8 km west of Atiquipa on Jun 28.
According to reports on social networks, the districts of Yauca and Chala are the most affected by the earth movements that have forced residents to sleep outside their homes for fear of new earthquakes. After the M6.1 quake, the number of injured people increased to 14, in addition to causing further damage to homes, schools, churches and health centers. There were also power outages and landslides and rockslides.
Hernando Tavera, executive president of the Geophysical Institute of Peru, said that the M7.2 earthquake released an energy equivalent to 250,000 tons of dynamite, comparable to the explosion of 15.6 atomic bombs, so it is not surprising that more aftershocks will occur.
