Summary
A seismic-like event was reported near Lima at 10:26 GMT on Aug. 19, with the preliminary epicenter placed 8.8 km south of the Peruvian capital.
Magnitude and depth were still unavailable in the first alert, which said the location and timing came from a best-fit seismic model rather than confirmed agency data.
EarthquakeMonitor said more accurate information could emerge within minutes once national or international seismological agencies publish scientific readings.
The report remains unconfirmed, leaving the exact strength, depth and final location subject to revision as official data arrives.
