A magnitude 4.4 earthquake was felt in Tacna, according to Infobae. The event occurred in a region known for its seismic activity, as Peru lies on the Pacific Ring of Fire, where 80% of the world's strongest tremors occur.

Additionally, another earthquake with a magnitude of 4.2 was reported in Tacna, also according to Infobae. Authorities are assessing the situation to determine potential damages, although none have been reported so far.

Meanwhile, in Áncash, a magnitude 3.5 earthquake was recorded 44 kilometers south of Huarmey, reported the Geophysical Institute of Peru. In Arequipa, another earthquake with a magnitude of 4.0 was recorded on the afternoon of the same Saturday.
