An earthquake measuring 4.8 on the Richter scale, 83 km southwest of Ica, Peru

4.8 earthquake August 10 9:15 am (GMT -5)

The European Mediterranean Seismological Center (EMSC) reported a 4.8-magnitude earthquake in Peru near Ica, Provencia de Ica, just 20 minutes ago. The earthquake struck on the morning of Tuesday, August 10, 2021 at 9:15 am local time at a shallow depth of 28 km. The exact magnitude, epicenter and depth of the earthquake may be reviewed within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review the data and improve their calculations, or when other agencies release their report. It caused no significant damage, but it was probably felt by many people in the form of a slight vibration in the epicenter area. A weak tremor may have been felt in Hacienda Ullujaya (pop.250) 56 km from the epicenter, Santiago (10,400 inhabitants) 73 km, Los Aquijes (population 7,800) 83 km, Ica (population 246.800) 83 km 87 km, Subtanga (population 9100), San Juan Bautista (population 6900) 89 km. Other towns or cities near the epicenter where the earthquake may have been felt as the tremor was very weak include Paracas (population 1,200) located 96 km from the epicenter, and Pisco (No. 61,900) 113 km away.
