The tremor was recorded at 3:35 am Brasília time (6:35 am UTC). The epicenter was near the Peruvian city of Ayabaca, about 10 kilometers west of Suyo, in the Piura region, and approximately 86 kilometers southwest of Loja, in Ecuador.
➡ An earthquake of magnitude 5.5 is considered to be of moderate intensity. In this range, the tremor can be felt by a large number of people in areas close to the epicenter and cause light to moderate damage to more vulnerable buildings, but it does not normally cause large-scale destruction.
The Geophysical Institute of Peru (IGP) estimated maximum intensity between IV and V on the Modified Mercalli scale, a level at which the tremor is usually perceived by the population and can cause minor damage to more fragile structures.
